Customize Y Axis category tooltips / hover text with longer descriptions

When you hover over a Y-axis category name/label, a hover text appears showing the same category name. Is there a way to customize that hover text or tooltip to show a longer description related to that axis category name. In this stacked bar chart example below when I hovered over the first school name it showed me the same school name in yellow hover text. Is it possible to customize that and ideally derived it from a related column ?


I have tooltips enabled when hovering over the Blue bars, I was hoping there is a way to customize the category name hover text too.

HI @kv,

In fact, current you can't do customize with these. It is a simple panel to show the hovered items detail strings and it will helped when you are using long strings as category. Perhaps you can submit an idea for add support with this requirement:
