.JSON Theme - Line and Clustered Column Chart

Hi All,

.JSON file is a preset of settings, right?

Situation->
So, I've included in the file, that the lines should default to "Stepped".
Funny thing is it actually PREVENTS you from changing it to something else. Well, you can change it to "linear", but the change won't actually happen on your screen. It will be "hardcoded" to stay as stepped. 

Question -> Did anybody had a similar issue with ANY other field in a .JSON file? Is it a bug? Should it work like this?

"lineStackedColumnComboChart": {
         "*": {
            "labels": [
               {
                  "enableBackground"false,
                  "color": {
                     "solid": {
                        "color""#000000"
                     }
                  },
                  "labelPosition""Auto"
               }
            ],
            "lineStyles": [
               {
                  "stepped": true,
                  "strokeWidth": 2,
                  "lineStyle": "dashed"
               }
            ]
         }

Probably a bit late to the party here 🙂  but change the stepped value from True to False and it will allow you to change to Linear, etc.

 

I had the exact same problem and this resolved it for me.

It will, yes, but it won't default to stepped when you create the chart and that was the innitial idea.
I had to disable it, like you mentioned. Microsoft did provide support, but not a solution. So for now you can't do what I wanted to do.
