Numeric property in custom visual doesn't work

[Master_T]

Hello guys and gals

I'm developing a custom visual and I want to have an integer input box for a particular property that can be edited.

So I put this in my capabilities.json:

"objects": {
	"visualSettings":{
		"displayName": "Visual settings",
		"descriptionKey": "visualSettings",
		"properties": {
			"maxFractionDigits":{
				"displayName": "Max fraction digits",
				"displayNameKey": "maxFractionDigits",
				"type": {
					"integer": true
				}
			}
		}
	}
}

In my settings objects I have the property defined like this:

public maxFractionDigits: number = 5;

However, when the visual properties panel renders the input box does not show up, only the title does, as you can see here:

As you can see, I also have a bool and a string property and they render correctly as a toggle switch and a text box. It's just the integer property that doesn't render the editor.

What am I doing wrong here?

@Master_T I think it is supposed to be "numeric" not "integer"

Hello @Greg_Deckler , thanks for your reply.

Using "numeric" works, but it allows the user to input a decimal number, while I would like to only allow integers... is there any way to do that? And why is "integer" one of the allowed values if it is not supported?

@Master_T Hmm, well if numeric works and integer does not, could be a bug? Does seem like a valid value according to this: powerbi-visuals-api/schema.capabilities.json at master · microsoft/powerbi-visuals-api (github.com)
