HI paul-maessen,

After I check your 'renderConstantLine' function, I found you use the 'select' function to extract '.constant-line' elements.
As the document mentioned, the select function only returns the first match result, but 'Constantline' may contain multiple instances.  I think you need to change these parts to handle multiple instance proceedings.

BTW, I attached the link of 'power bi visuals core' here, you can take a look at the old version of official visuals processings if helps:

Hi Anonymous ,

 

Thanks for your reply.

 

You are right about the "renderContantLine"-function. But in this case I am only able to create just one line because I do not get the "+Add" again once I created a constant line. In that case there is only one line...

 

One of my questions is now. How do I get this "+Add"-button to be able to create multiple lines?

 

Regards

 

Paul

      Hi dm-p , Anonymous 

       

      Indeed I completely missed the limitation about multi-instance support also.

      Then there is just one issue left...

       

      As you can see in the initial post the analytics pane is rerendered every time something is changed. Can this be solved?

       

      Regards

        Hi paul-maessen,

        It's a bit late in the evening for me to check out your code and reproduce locally, and I'm having a look at your repo on my phone but if I had to guess, it looks like you might be executing VisualSettings.enumerateObjectInstances three times in your Visual.enumerateObjectInstances method (here, here and also here in the console.log). Each time this is executed, even for logging, it's going to enumerate your objects and probably refresh the pane each time. I might try to use the const declared in the first occurrence in your log statement and your return statement so you don't re-exexute the method again and see if this mitigates things.

        Regards,

        Daniel

    Hi paul-maessen,

    Thanks for dm-p 's notice, it seems like I missed the document that lists the known limitations of adding an analysis line to custom visuals.

    As the document mentions, currently you can't do multiple instance processing of constant line. For this scenario, perhaps you can consider submitting an idea to add support for this feature.
