Unless using a bespoke visualization, the margins and space things in standard visualizations like slicer items, cards and table columns are difficult to maintain and use effectively. There only seems to be some margin control over the border using the radius vector, there seems to be no control of the space between say card data and its category for instance or and the other objects including the title for the visual.

I would like to see under General formatting area a "default spacing" to control each of the horizonal and vertical space and a default to say if this is aligned to the centre/left/right and centre/top/bottom between the data components and whether they can "overlap". Then individual overrides for specific data objects in the field list that will tie in to the conditional formatting so that we can effectively have space collapse depending on the data. In this way bigger numbers could be in wider areas or blank outputs minimally displayed.
