Resource lables and legend color when using the "Resource" parameter and grouping tasks

[erapade]

If I choose to add Resource labels when I also group the tasks, the visual does not work as expected

Resource Labels:

I can configure the "Full text" as well as the "Width by task" settings in the "Data Labels" menu. But if I enable both these settings, the "Full text" setting are overriding the "Width by task" setting as seen below.

Not using the "Full task" setting will truncate even the last occurrence of the text as seen below

My suggestion is that the "Width by task" setting will override the "Full task" setting so that the first labels can be truncated, but not the last one

Legend colors:

When I add data to the Resource parameter, the Legend color disappears, i.e. only one single color is used. As seen in the picture below, only one color are used and that can also bee seen in the control.
In my case, I used the same data for "Resource" as I used for "Legend", but I don't know if this effects the behavior. The reason for adding Legend data also as Resource was to make the visualization more verbose (not having to hover to see the data). But as the colors now are the same, I didn't get the expected result

As also can be seen in the picture above, the Legend list at the right are now empty, just containing a green dot. I guess this is somehow connected to that there is only one color

Maybe a solution is to enable the possibility to have Legend data shown as Data labels. In that case I would not have to add anything in the Resource parameter and that would probably let me keep the legend colors. If this is a solution, please add a checkbox in the "Data Labels" menu for choosing if Legend data or Resource data shall be used as Data labels.

Additionally

The "Date type" menu item is kind of hard to understand. It's more of a scale and axis setting. My recommendation is to rename it to "Scale" and also rename the "Type" attribute to "Time scale" or something equal

@erapade, thank you for your feedback. Could you please send a sample pbix report to reproduce the issue to Power BI Custom Visuals Support pbicvsupport@microsoft.com

Thanks, Please see attached PBIX file. On page 2 I also added a strange behavior where durations of 1 is not shown, and durations of 1.1 seconds are shown as 1.1 minute Could not attach the file here, but the file is sent to your mailbox as requested Added what I expect below <img width="369" alt="capture" src="https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/17324892/37342990-80e3804e-26c6-11e8-87bc-6acf91354fb8.PNG">

Any news about the Legend Color. We also discovered that the task color reverts to the original green color whenever adding a legend. @uve
