Vertical Lines for Line Charts

Are vertial lines for major points (like the horizoncal lines) ever going to be added as an option in a line chart? I had read that they weren't available but that was back in 2019 and I'm hoping that Microsoft has updated the line chart with vertila lines option (though I haven't been able to find it yet).

 

This would be a great enhancement to the line chart (or other charts). 

 

Any third party line chart visuals that have vertial lines displayed?

@wrwillits  I'm not sure if this is what you mean - gridlines for the X axis?

You need to set the X axis to Continuous first:

Then you can turn gridlines on.
