Hi I am making my custom visual and need the display units drop down menu.....I suspect this is part of power bi utility that was packaged in? but I cannot find any documentation. Can anyone help? Thanks.

Hi @Anonymous
Use a type in your capabilities.json as follows:
"type": { "formatting": { "labelDisplayUnits": true } }
The corresponding class property in your settings.ts will be of type number, as the list value will pass in a number a valueFormatter can use in the value parameter of the ValueFormatterOptions.
Here's some examples from one of my custom visuals (we're looking at the labelDisplayUnits object):
Hopefully this gets you moving!

EDIT: the formatting type also has support for fontSize and alignment, values which will add selectors for font size and graphics for left/centre/right alignment as in the properties pane. Here's the section of the JSON schema for capabilities, which documents the formatting object type.
DOUBLE EDIT: looks like fontFamily was added a while back, too; that'll be worth exploring at some point...
