"objects": {

                    "displayName": "Color",
                    "description": "The fill color of the circle.",

Hi @Pumayk26,

If you're adding objects, you also need code to instantiate them when enumerateObjectInstances runs in your visual's workflow. What this translates to is:

  1. You need a class defining the object properties
    • Property names must exactly match those in capabilities.json
    • Properties must be instantiated with a suitable default value, even if it's null
  2. Instantiating that class as a property of your VisualSettings (and that name must exactly match the object key from capabilities.json)

So, based on your supplied JSON and assuming you've started from a blank visual, the following code in settings.ts (or wherever you're storing your VisualSettings class) would work under the same assumptions:

"use strict";

import { dataViewObjectsParser } from "powerbi-visuals-utils-dataviewutils";
import DataViewObjectsParser = dataViewObjectsParser.DataViewObjectsParser;

export class VisualSettings extends DataViewObjectsParser {
  public circle: CircleSettings = new CircleSettings();
}

export class CircleSettings {
  public circleColor: string = 'FF0000';
  public circleThickness: number = 2; 
}

now, when your visual fires up it will render them in the properties pane, e.g.:

image.png

For further reading, you can refer to the documentation on objects and properties.

Hopefully this is all you need. Good luck!

Daniel
