Power bi .json Custom Theme - Revert visuals to default

[elcu]

Hello,

when you create your own theme in .json and they apply it to an already existing visuals, they do not get changed to the new style. You need to go to each of the visual's format tab, and manually click on the "revert to defaults" button. Then, the new theme and settings gets applied to the category. You need to do this for every category (10 to 20 of categories for each visual)

Is there a possibility to add some line of code into the .json which resets all of the visuals into this default mode? Smthg like this (or smthg applicable on the global level):

"categoryAxis": [
          {
            "show": true,
            "position": "Left",
            "revert to defaults": true
          }
                        ]

Thank you :)

Thanks for your comment, @elcu.

I've assigned this issue to the doc author for review.

In the meantime, you might find an answer in the Power BI Community.

Hello @uve,

just to specify what I am looking for:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/create-reports/desktop-report-themes#situations-when-report-theme-colors-wont-stick-to-your-reports

Situations when report theme colors won't stick to your reports

When you change something in the visual then your imported theme doesn't override this changed setting in the visual. It overwrites only clean/non-changed visuals.

I would like to insert a code into the json which resets the visual to its defaults.

Hi, @elcu -- not sure why your link isn't working. You're referring to this article, right? https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/create-reports/desktop-report-themes#report-theme-json-file-format
Assigning to the author for consideration.

Yes @maggiesMSFT , I am referring to that article. There is a special section in it "Situations when report theme colors won't stick to your reports". You need to manually click on that "revert to default" button now, but I would like to implement it into the .json file.

@elcu Did you ever find a solution for this? I'm having the same problem.

@maggiesMSFT Hello Maggie, any update on this please? Thank you

Hi, is there a solution to revert all visuals to default?

[Lightless9]

@rikesh-neelakantan-jdas not that I know of. Would really be helpful though.

Any update on that one? This feature would really make a difference.

It should, however, be a button in PBI GUI (revert all visuals to default), or an option when changing the theme (e.g.: override manual configurations on all visuals).

I never solved this either. My project for a company default .json theme is "on hold" until I find a way to revert everything to default in the code.

Hi @elcu @woodyj13, @rafaelsmoreno ,
I've searched the Community forum and the ideas.powerbi.com website, and see that this question/idea has been posted by several users. I am unaware of a solution. However, the more votes an Idea gets, the more likely it will catch the product team's attention. Here's a link to the Idea that seems to best match: https://ideas.powerbi.com/ideas/idea/?ideaid=83137c9d-277f-4249-97f7-431cd98409dc.
All the best,
