100% stacked area chart - Detail label formatting options 'missing'

Hi  Alisa,

Specifically this is regarding the new, 100% stacked area chart, but also, the behaviour above proves that the formatting option is already recognized in PBI desktop (it wouldn't respond to the custom theme file that way otherwise), but is not being displayed in the GUI. Therefore I would not class this as a feature request, but again more of a fix so that the GUI is consistent with the formatting options that should be available by default (and again, already ARE available if invoked by the custom JSON theme file).

To further clarify, once invoked via a custom JSON theme file, I am then presented with a working 'Bold' button in the GUI, which allows me to activate and deactivate bold formatting for the detail text, as though it were already a standard formatting option in the GUI (which it should be). Is it your summation this is expected behaviour?

You do make a good point about the standard area chart though, as it would appear this is also missing the full range of formatting properties that should be available for the detail text, so thank you for raising that. I had missed this since by default, the standard area chart uses the value card/text (as opposed to the 'detail' text, which is the default for new 100% version data labels), so I wasn't aware of the issue with the detail card in the standard stacked area chart. But in that case also, I would argue the formatting options should be consistent across the board for all label text in general. This would be in line with standard best practice for GUI design, and would enhance the overall user experience in Power BI.

Also, one final note: on the macro level you could class this as simply a request that the text formatting options are consistent with other visuals, for example the stacked bar chart already has the expected formatting options in place for both forms of text, as shown below:

However circling back to the original issue, the missing formatting for the 100% stacked area chart is already recognized by PBI desktop, which further proves it should already be there in the GUI by default, but is initially hidden in the GUI. If it were a truly 'new feature', as you suggest, PBI desktop would not respond to the call to invoke the formatting when called by the JSON theme file to do so, and it certainly would not add a clickalbe 'Bold' button in the GUI once invoked as such.

I hope the above has now clarified the issue/bug I've identified, thanks!
