Custom Visual selection not working

Hey Everyone, I have developed a custom visual which has selection Id for the datapoints. Whenever I highlight on in an area, the visual uses the SelectionManager to select those points. However, the other visuals do not seem to be updating from the selection. When I change something in the other visuals however, it does update this custom visual.

 

Any help is appreciated,

Zohaib

I think they may relate to custom visual interactions, you can take a look at the below link about power bi visual data point interactivity with selections:

Update:

 

So I took all of my code in the visual.ts, visual.less, and settings.ts file and moved them into a new project I created and selections from my custom visual now show up on the other visuals. Not sure what broke but I still have those files.
