Hi everyone,
I inserted drilldown option in my custom bar visual through capabilities.
Is it possible to drilldown by click on bar?
If it is not available in API, how can I acces drilldown level in code?

Yes, it's possbile. You just need to implement Selection via SelectionManager.

I've noticed, that described functionality already supports in regular stacked column chart. However, due to design, data entry and tooltips functionality, this visual not suitable for me. So, how can I achieve same functionality?

To support drill down you just need to add drilldown into capabilities.json and SelectionManager.

I implemented drilldown in capabilities. However, I find it hard to set selection manager for hierarchy levels. Can I send code for examination and pointing my mistakes in selection manager?

Yes, sure. Please send source code to [email protected]

Thanks. So, if I implement selection manager, it will drill down automatically? Or should I set appropriate hierarchy level in code?
Also, I have slicers for every hierarchy level: categories for level 1, 2 and etc. How to set drill down if slicer for level 1 is used?
So, it will look something like this:
