Hello saviourofdp
The fontSize is predefined Power BI capabilities name.
You might try to rename the second fontSize property to textSize, titleFontSize, secFontSize, secTitleFontSize.

ok, thanks Ignat that works. To conclude, I have to use one of
- fontSize
- textSize
- titleFontSize
- secFontSize
- secTitleFontSize
to get the absolute value slider. Otherwise, I get a percentage slider.
This then begs further questions:
- Are there any other predefined capabilities names? For example there might be one to get at the Font Family enumeration. Documentation for these would be great and very useful.
- Why not have a configuration property that allows us to specify which control to use without relying on undocumented hardcoded names?
- Why does creating a capabilities property without using a name from the aforementioned list create a percentage slider? Of what value is the percentage meant to be?
Thanks for the help
Regarding your questions:
- Power BI API doesn't suppor this. This is in our backlog
- This is related to historical reasons
- Percentage slicer is a fallback for all of slider if the predefined name isn't used
