Capabilities not showing up in format pane

I am trying to add some custom formatting options in the capabilities file I added the following

 

  "objects": {
        "dataBarColors":{
            "displayName": "Data Bar Colors",
            "properties": {
                "ValueFillColor":{
                    "displayName": "Value Bar Color",
                    "type": {
                        "fill": {
                            "solid": {
                                "color":true
                            }
                        }
                    }
                },
                "GoalFillColor":{
                    "displayName": "Goal Bar Color",
                    "type": {
                        "fill": {
                            "solid": {
                                "color":true
                            }
                        }
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }

Does anyone know why this is not showing up in the Power BI format pane?

 

Thanks,

Dan

Defining the capabilities is not enough to have them appear under Format. You still need to enumerate them following these guidelines: https://github.com/Microsoft/PowerBI-visuals/blob/master/Tutorial/DataBoundObjects.md
