How to change legend marker shape in Line and Column chart
Hi Berean_50
I have checked your sample, and I think the reason is as you said that Current is in Column Field in your visual. I think shape funtion could only change the shape of line part in "Line and Cluster Column" chart. This function aims to distinguish the line and column part in Legend. I couldn't find a function to change the shape of column part as well. You see that if I add Product ID in Column series, Legend for column part will all show in circle.
If you want the line and column part to show the same shape, I suggest you to change the shape in line part to circle.
Your demand is a good idea, while it is not supported to implement in Power BI currently.

Hi Berean_50
Could you share a easy sample without any sensitive data with us? We need to know your data model and your visual format. This may make it easier for us to find the reason.

HI Anonymous and Greg_Deckler
If this helps I have a attached a very simple PBIX file with the chart as requested. The aim is to be able to change the blue circle shape (column values) into something else like a blue square shape, for example.
You can download the PBIX sample file https://1drv.ms/u/s!AuHocvOERo6IhMscUON_UFyaePhPVQ?e=Vbz8CH
