Hi,@ParsaOmidvar .I am glad to help you.
I agree with tharunkumarRTK 's suggestion.
If you add a Constant line with an incorrect data type. You can try to create a measure with the same calculated effect and set the correct data type for it and add it as the value of the Constant line in the visual
Like this:
You need to make the data type of measure consistent with the X-axis field type
The constant lines added are related to the data types of the X-axis and Y-axis fields.
I hope you find the following related article helpful.

Thank you for your time, but it was way more complicated than this, I read a post which used error bars to dinamically creates vertical lines in a visual when specific criteria met.
If I understand correctly you want to add a constant line to a Line and clustered chart. If yes then you can create a measure which results into a constant value and add that measure into line field of the visual.
Line and clustered support adding a constant or reference line, so I would suggest you to create a meausre and plot that as a line
