How to show the border of [Shape].
For now, when using the [Shape] mark, [Border] is grayed out and could not be added to the view.
The ability to add a border in [Shape], is not currently built into Tableau Desktop.
Please consider the following workaround.
Add a dual-axis in the view to only show the border, then combine the two shapes together.
Restrictions: This method could only create a border for some shapes and only available for one shape in the view.
Please check the attached workbook and video for details.
