Shapemap: Shape section of format well not available until location field populated

[jayeckles]

When you add a Shapemap visual to a report, if you go to the format well, the Shape section is not available at first.  The Shape section only appears once a field from a dataset has been added to the Location field in the field well.  Once the Location field is populated, the Shape section becomes available on the format well and only then can you add a custom map.

The Shape section should be available immediately upon adding a Shapemap visual to a report.

Other visuals should have the same behavior. I think you can create an idea for your requirement in http://ideas.powerbi.com.
