Buttons would be much more useful if we could add a custom icon/image to them. The current choices of arrows, reset, help, Q&A, etc. are too limited.

Thanks,

RE: custom image on button

Ability for button or image to have a hyperlink attached to it. So, basically a hyperlink property for the button control.
This will help when linking to an SSRS report or other content.

It would also be nice to include an optional hyperlink with buttons. If we could get a hyperlink option on Images that would be great as well;)

RE: custom image on button

YES - you can import an image & create a button, but this is Microsoft! I have over 20 years experience with MS Access. When I want to create a button on a form I can use the standard icon, enter text, or select from all icons. I would like to see an "icon library" of sorts. Just an example: X to use to close/hide a shape (call a bookmark). I tried looking for/importing an icon & crashed by PBI file. Give up more options!!!! At the same time, it would be nice to have the ability to add ACTION to more items - text box, card, etc.

You can add a image-visual and set an action to it. That way you won't need extra button-Visuals.

RE: custom image on button

Having custom images on the buttons would open a whole new door of possibilities. Also, I am going to recommend have the image stay the same fill on selected. For example, when the button is pressed, the buttons fill shows as though it is pressed. Currently, when the button is selected, it only briefly changes fill and then returns to default.
