Hi holly3012 ,

 

Each formatting property in the formatting model needs a corresponding object in the capabilities.json file. The formatting property should contain a descriptor with an object name and property name that exactly match the corresponding capabilities object (the object and property names are case sensitive).

The following table shows the formatting property types in capabilities.json file and their matching type class in modern formatting model properties, please check: Visualization pane formatting properties 

 

For more details, please refer to:

Customize the format pane in Power BI custom visuals - Power BI | Microsoft Learn 

 

Best Regards,

Jianbo Li
