No layout.props field passed into extension.

I'm creating an extension in which I want users to be able to configure the maximum number of units on the x-axis (MaxValuesX).

I've got the following at the start of my extension's js:

When I test the extension, I see the "Visible X-axis Value" property in the configuration panel with the proper default value. What I'm not seeing however, is that in my code's paint function:

paint: function($element,layout) {...}

the field of layout.props.maxValuesX does not exist. In fact, there is no layout.props field at all.

Any idea what could be causing this? I have other extension objects that use custom props that work just fine.

Thanks, Steve

Add

type: "items" to your object.

Delete the visualization and add it again to the sheet.

Each reference is created when an object (extension) is added to the sheet.

I was about to say this didn't work but then I noticed that you said the extension had to be deleted and re-added to the app. That did the trick. Thank you.
