Updating tooltip in a hierarchy column

Hi,

Is there a way to update the default tooltip when using a hierarchy column?

The X-axis is a hierarchy column with multiple levels. For example, when we drill down to "City" and hover over a bar, the default tooltip shows "Canada Toronto." However, it needs to be separated—for example, displayed as "Canada < Toronto."

I tried creating a concatenated calculated column and adding it as a tooltip, but the default formatting remains unchanged, displaying the first line by default.

 

Thanks!
