Hover label shows first label of series

Bug reports
1

Hi,

I think this bug has been reported before.

The instance I could find reported it "fixed":

So basically if I have a series with multiple graphs only the first graph label will be displayed even when hovering on the second graph.

My use case is that I want to compare yearA with yearB where yearA and yearB are filters on essentially the same query.

But it looks really silly when you hover over and they both report as A.

Or is there another way of doing this that I am missing .....

TIA

Stephen

How to re-create using sample data:

create a question like:
SELECT month("PUBLIC"."ORDERS"."CREATED_AT") AS "CREATED_AT", sum("PUBLIC"."ORDERS"."TOTAL") AS "sum"
FROM "PUBLIC"."ORDERS"
GROUP BY month("PUBLIC"."ORDERS"."CREATED_AT")
ORDER BY month("PUBLIC"."ORDERS"."CREATED_AT") ASC
(i used the gui this is the show sql)

visualise and create bar graph

call question A

save question

enter question A and duplicate it call it B

create dash D

add A to D

In dash D edit series of A and add B

For dash D add date filter and link to A

Add another filter and link to B

Goto visualise for the series and change the name of both series.

save everything and reload

when hovering over either bar you will only get the first label.

Hi! I can't reproduce this locally. I tried using your query and building two SQL questions, but I can't see what you're saying. Using 40.1 as well
multi_series

Hi,

You are using the default labels, which do not mention the series name but the data name.
If you go to visualise ->display and rename the labels next to the colours the problem appears.

Hi,

I think I can be a little clearer.
If your two queries had the same data (just different date ranges) then the label would be the same for each series.
You would then go into the visualise options to give the series different names so that you new which was which.
In this case the first label gets used for all series.

To explain further I have attached some pics and a video.
I could be wrong about the 'expected' behaviour.

gif showing result of above

oops went up in size when converted to gif

forgot to mention that A is a duplicate of B just linked to a different filter to show different date range where as C is the count of the orders.
