Customising a charts legend label to reference a page item

Image
I am generating a report (Graph) based on a date field. The requirement is for the legend label to display the data beside the legend label. This leads me on the AnyChart documentation. http://www.anychart.com/products/anychart/docs/xmlReference/index.html http://www.anychart.com/products/anychart/docs/users-guide/legend-text-formatting.html First, you need to specify the legend attribute ignore_auto_item to True. If you don't do this part, whilst the item will be found (below), the format won't be applied, despite matching successfully. Then, you can define custom formats for each series. In my case, I have two series (Current Report and Previous Report). So, inside the legend node, add the following for each series: <items> <item source="Series" series="CURRENT REPORT"> <format><![CDATA[{%Icon} Current Report - &P22_CURRENT_REPORT.]]></format> </item> <item source="Series"
