PowerPoint Export - Labels in exported PPT differ from those seen in DXP
Labels change during export to PowerPoint
How to reproduce:
1. Create Scatter Plot
2. Select Properties > Labels > Show Labels for: All, Max Number of Labels: 20
3. File > Export > To PowerPoint
Behavior seen:
The labels seen in the PowerPoint graphic differ from those seen in the DXP. Label positions always change and less frequently the actual data points labeled will change.
Expected behavior:
The labels and datapoints in the exported PowerPoint slide match that seen in the DXP.
Note:I understand the setting is saying to "show X as the max number of labels", and is not explicitly setting which data points to to label. Because of this I classified this as an enhancement and not a defect. The workaround of setting "Show Levels for: Marked" (where you can explicitly define which data points to label) is not a sufficient workaround since the marking will change the coloring of the data points and the original coloring is very often required.
