Hi all.
I'm creating a theme in json for a report in Power BI.
I wonder if is there a way to define the way my visuals interact by default in a theme.
In my case i want to change the default interaction from highlight to filter.
Thank you in advance.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Thank for the feedback, i've found what i was looking for, it was implemented in the February update.

If you know which visuals you are going to use in your reports, you can format them individually.
All default visuals with their corresponding formatting can be found here: https://github.com/deldersveld/PowerBI-ThemeTemplates
Hi,
As I know it's impossible because filtration and highlighting use different code algorithms and are programmed individually for each visual. So, there isn't some universal code that may be switched by some JSON theme property.
Kind Regards,
