[Bug]New Card Visual: Conditional Formatting Gradient Fail

Description: I have identified a regression/bug in the New Card visual where background conditional formatting (Gradient) fails to evaluate correctly when the visual is populated with a "Data" field and a "Series" (Split) dimension.

Current Behavior: When applying a Gradient rule based on the measure (e.g., [Total Revenue]) to the visual's global settings, the formatting engine does not respect the row context of the individual series (States). It appears to calculate the gradient based on the global/grand total context, resulting in no color variation across cards.

Observed Workaround: The formatting only triggers correctly if I explicitly force focus on a specific series instance (double-click a card > right-click > format). This suggests the rendering engine has the capability but fails to iterate automatically at the global level.

Repro Steps:

  1. Add New Card Visual.

  2. Drag a Measure (e.g., Sum(Revenue)) to Data.

  3. Drag a Dimension (e.g., State) to the visual to create multiple cards.

  4. Go to Format Pane > Cards > Background > fx.

  5. Apply Gradient based on Sum(Revenue) (Lowest to Highest).

  6. Result: All cards show the same color (formatting context is not filtered by the Series dimension).

Status: New
