Power BI Custom Visual Storing Properties/Format Data
Inforgraphic Designer keeps advanced settings in Format Panel like other options but such advanced options are hidden for users.
Settings are kept as a JSON string.
To keep settings in Format Panel and hide it for user you should:
- Define properties in objects property of capabilities.json (Sankey example)
- Parse properties from a dataView for each update to restore the desired state of a custom visual
- Do not enumerate such properties in enumerateObjectInstances
- To keep settings your visual should call persistProperties method (Sankey example)

Just make you div transparent to inherit background color of parent element.

Predefined Format Panel groups such as Title and Background are not available for Custom Visuals.

Okay. So we couldn't able to access those values from our custom visuals.
Right. It is not possible.
Why do you need these options?

Based on those values, we planned to change the particular element (DIV) background in our custom visuals.
