Hi,

I have several entries listed in the "format" section.

The schema should be in capabilities.json but i cannot find the entry "Title" and some others entries that are visible in section "Format" in powerbi.

Hi @Anonymous,

These menus are foundational to core and custom visuals, irrespective of type. The changes resulting from properties in these menus are applied to the external visual host rather than the visual sandbox/container.

Because the sandbox is not allowed to access higher-order elements in the page DOM such as the host element, the resulting effects cannot be read or manipulated from the visual and as such are not supplied to it. Therefore it's not possible to modify or remove them from your visual's capabilities, or access them in the enumerateObjectInstances function.

Regards,

Daniel
