"Custom label" field on "Clustered Bar chart" grayed-out on "October 2023" version

[Gerhardtc_95]

Hi Power BI community.

On Power BI dekstop, pre "Version: 2.122.746.0 64-bit (October 2023)", Ive created a "Clustered Bar chart" visual with a measure on the "X-axis" to define the bar length and a different (text) measure on the "custom label" field to display a different label for each bar.

After the update, the text measure is still working, but the "custom label" field is grayed-out. Im not able to remove or change the measure from the field.

Ive also tried creating a new "Clustered Bar chart" from scratch, but the "custom label" field is still grayed-out. The "custom label" toggle button however is working. I can turn it on or off, but not change the measure.

Am I doing someting wrong or does it relate to the version update?

Any help?

Hi @Gerhardtc_95 
I just installed the latest version It seems like a bug.

You can not do anything. If you want your custom Lable to be working please install 2 month previous version.

I hope I answered your question.Please give kudos and accept it as a solution!
Thanks

Hi Uzi,

Thanx for your input. I suspect the same.

I think I'll roll back to a previous version.

Hi @Gerhardtc_95 
For prev version it seems completly fine.

Please try to install the previos version. Oct version might have some issue.
It is recommended not to install latest version of power bi like current month's version.

If my post helps please give kudos and accept it as a solution!
Thanks
