Apply field formatting to row headers

In a matrix visual, I have multiple measures, and I've turned on "Show on rows," so that each measure appears in a row rather than in a column. Now, when I apply field formatting with "Apply to header" = 'On', the field formatting does not get applied to the row header. I expected it would. Please fix this so that field formatting can be applied to row headers, the same as column headers. Thanks!

Conditional Formatting on Row headers would be a great addition for users trying to create a financial PandL. Being able to highlight certain row headers to stand out from others would be beneficial.

The Power BI Matrix has some nice features but us SEVERELY limited on formatting control of rows, columns, etc. Conditional formatting can only be applied to values which is fine for a "standard" type of report, but if you are trying to do something custom with text, it is very limited. Numerous other tools such as Eclipse and BIRT and Tableau can do this easily. I would need to change both the font, font size, and font color for different row headers based on a text value. I could convert the text value into a number with some DAX, but the engine doesn't even provide a conditional formatting allowance for the row headers. This is very disappointing...

Please add this. It's a very basic requirement and this idea is more than 2 years old now. The ability to format rows and columns in a matrix is severely lacking in PBI.

we need to be able to conditional formatting row headers for font size, font weight (bold), color and background, and as well for cell element and specific column

Very useful basic feature that really should have been added a while ago when the column headers where individually editable. Important that row headers can be edited individually.
