How to add a minimum and maximum range to a sparkline in a singlevalue chart

I have some single values graphs spark-lines that are supposed to return a success-rate of service calls by _time. Please see attached for example.

The spark-line indicates how the success-rate looks in past minutes as compared to now, the number is the latest rate and the trend is that compared to latest- 1 span of _time.

The trouble with this is that a drop of 25% in success-rate looks the same as a 2% drop due to the fact that the spark-line does not have a defined lower or upper boundary, boundaries are generated based on the data that is seen and cant be defined as static.

So if success-rate drops to 95 and then back to 100 again, it looks the same as if it would have dropped to 25 and back to 100% again if looking only at spark-line. I would like it to always compare vs min 0 and max 100.

I have tried these options but they are not working for this type of chart:

<option name="chartRangeMin">0</option>
<option name="chartRangeMax">100</option>

error:

Unknown option name="chartRangeMin" for node="single"

Any Ideas on how to make this happen?

Attached is an image displaying a 1% drop.This should look like a barely noticeable blip - not like an upside-down triangle.

This works for me.

<format field="sparkline" type="sparkline">
    <option name="type">line</option>
    <option name="height">100px</option>
    <option name="chartRangeMin">0</option>
    <option name="chartRangeMax">100</option>
</format>

It does not work for single-value visualisation sparklines.

I get this error:

Node <format> is not allowed here

My current formating options:

        <option name="colorBy">value</option>
        <option name="colorMode">block</option>
        <option name="drilldown">all</option>
        <option name="height">124</option>
        <option name="numberPrecision">0.0</option>
        <option name="rangeColors">["0x555","0xdc4e41","0xf1813f","0xf8be34","0x2E8B57"]</option>
        <option name="rangeValues">[35,85,90,97]</option>
        <option name="refresh.display">progressbar</option>
        <option name="showTrendIndicator">1</option>
        <option name="trendDisplayMode">absolute</option>
        <option name="trendInterval">-1m</option>
        <option name="unit">%</option>
        <option name="unitPosition">before</option>
        <option name="useColors">1</option>
