I’m trying to create a style to be used for alarming in perspective, but I can’t get the animation to toggle the border. I realized that the animation window doesn’t have options for border/outline types.

If I edit the json for the style to add this item the border will display. I haven’t gotten the animation to fully work yet, but I am a step closer.

Hi,

Missing `border style` and `outline style` options. Looks like a bug to me.

Yeah, if I add them in the JSON it appears to work ( I didn’t assign them in both the 0% and 100% the first time). There just isn’t an option to select them in the GUI

@ynejati Using version 8.1.5 and still see that the Border style and Outline style configurations are missing from Style GUI when “animated” is enabled.

Non-animated:

Yep, we haven’t fixed this yet. Good reminder. Priority bumped. Thanks!

FYI, this still seems to be an issue in 8.1.12.
