Power BI Desktop Format Pane No Longer Works

I imported my own custom visual into Power BI desktop.  When I clicked on the "Format" button in the "VISUALIZATION" pane, the format pane only lists the default settings (Background, Lock aspect, Border, Title, and General) and not the additional settings that I defined in capabilities.json and settings.ts.  This used to work perfectly in the past.  Any ideas?

    I found the error in my own capabilities.json file while messing around with the provided sample capabilities.json file.  Now the format pane shows up as expected :)  Thanks.

    Please make sure you clicked the visuals before you checking the format option.

     

    If you clicked on the blank page and your contol is not on the visual then you will get the default settings only.

     

    Thanks

      Yes, I always click on the visuals before clicking the format option.

        Can you post the snapshot of your page - Format menu while the visual is selected.

         

        Thanks
