Pie Graph Detail Label/Legend Color Issue

Detail Labels on pie graph will not change color when "Legend" field is blank.  My "Values' field has data from their own columns, so I don't require the "Legend" field to be populated.  But when the "Legend" field is un-populated, the pie graph does not allow me to customize the font on the detail Labels.  The detail label font can only be customized when the "Legend" field is populated.  Is this a bug? I shouldn't have to categorize my data set for a Legend just to customize my font IMHO. Any ideas?

    Hi,GVallentgoed.

    I am glad to help you.

    According to your description, you want to change the color of the font only if you put data in "Values" field.
    Hello according to my test. It may be caused by the version problem, please go to the power BI official website to download the latest version of power bi desktop
    Here is the url:
    Downloads | Microsoft Power BI

    The result of the test:
    It is possible to change the color of the font only if you put a data in "Values" field.


    I hope my suggestions give you good ideas, if you have any more questions, please clarify in a follow-up reply.

      I updated to the latest version available to me and I am still having the issue.  I have background units turned on, yet no backround will appear. The color is locked to grey.  Selecting a color will show the color box switch for a split second, then turn back to grey.

        I don't have an option to download that version on the website. could this be a location restriction? Would you be able to provide me a link to the version?

        Thanks
