Has anyone tried to leverage the linkedTo parameter in the advanced chart config?
It is supposed to make it to where you can link multiple series together so they can be shown/hidden by a single legend entry.
In my case, I have a line chart tied to various retailers. These lines do not have labels. I then have 2 scatter series to highlight the relative highs and lows along that line; Both of these series have labels.
My intent is to hide the scatter series entries from the legend (working) and have the retailer entry for the line chart in the legend show/hide all 3 series. I’m doing this by setting the linkedTo value to the id of the line series. This is working like a charm in the Edit Chart Config window, but as soon as I hit Apply and go back to the explore, it doesn’t work. Interestingly, it no longer even hides the line series, it fails to hide everything.
Has anyone else experience this?
Is the linkedTo parameter not fully supported? Or is it an issue of the id’s being assigned to the various series changing from how they show in the Chart Config?
series: [{
name: ‘Retailer’,
id: ‘retailerSpendLine’,
showInLegend: true
}, {
name: ‘RETAILER - Ad Spend Top Labels’,
linkedTo: ‘retailerSpendLine’,
dataLabels: {
enabled: true,
verticalAlign: ‘bottom’
},
showInLegend: false
}, {
name: ‘RETAILER - Ad Spend Bottom Labels’,
linkedTo: ‘retailerSpendLine’,
dataLabels: {
enabled: true,
verticalAlign: ‘top’
},
showInLegend: false
},
