Disable/hide include/exclude buttons within contex menu

Hi,

 

is there a way to hide/disable the include and exclude button within the context menu when working with custom visuals?

Within our visual we have a different way of filtering data and need to disable them so the users wont use these buttons and get confused. But we need the context menu itself to she the drillthrough button to our user.

 

Regards,

lucmax

HI @lucmax

I too would like this option. While this isn't currently possible, if you just want drillthrough, one option could be to manage through modern tooltips if you have them enabled in your report rather than the context menu. You'll need to pass a selection ID like for a report page tooltip also for drilldown and/or drill through to be available.

Modern tooltip support has been added in powerbi-visuals-api 3.8.3 via the supportEnhancedTooltips property, and something like the following in your capabilities will enable it:

{
    ...
    "tooltips": {
        "supportEnhancedTooltips": true,
        "supportedTypes": {
            "default": true
        }
    },
    ...
}

Regards,

Daniel

Hi @lucmax ,

Base on my research, currently Power BI don't support this feature. Here is one similar idea shared on Power BI Ideas, you can vote it up and add your comments there to improve Power BI on this feature. Of course, you can also raise one new idea ticket on Power BI Ideas.

Best Regards
