Theme JSON code for Total labels

I am using this code to control the data labels for the Stacked Bar Chart. However, I want to add the "Total labels" to the theme JSON file but I cannot find any documentation for the Total labels. I checked these pages but they may be out of date. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/create-reports/desktop-report-themes

,
"labels": [
{
"show": true,
"color": { "solid": { "color": "#FFFFFF" } },
"fontSize": 9,
"fontFamily": "Segoe UI"
}

Hi @Garrysfarrell ,

 

Here's what you need to add to your barChart theme section:

 

"totals": [
{
"show": true,
"color": { "solid": { "color": "#FFFFFF" } },
"fontSize": 9,
"fontFamily": "Segoe UI"
}
],


You can sometimes discover the correct terminology by looking in the Layout file inside the unzipped PBIX file.

Hope that helps!

Regards,
Roger

Didn't seem to work. I tried all variations of what I thought may be errors.

"show Total" --> "showTotal"

"TotalLable" --> "TotalLabel"

"TotalLable" --> "totalLabel"

"TotalLable" --> "totalLable"

I used this code. Not sure if this is correct but it didn't work. Pic below highlighting the "Total Labels" that I'm trying to change with the theme.

"total": [
{
"show": true,
"color": { "solid": { "color": "#448822" } },
"fontSize": 9,
"fontFamily": "Arial"
}
]
