## Problem In dashboard chart widgets, Port builds each series’ legend label automatically and gives no way to override it. On a multi-line-chart, every legend entry appears as {line title}-{property title} . Long labels are cut off at the end, so the part that tells two series apart is often hidden. That leaves charts with several similarly named series hard or impossible to read without hovering over each line. The only lever today is lines[].title , and it controls just the prefix. The property title is still added to the end. Shortening property titles to compensate isn’t practical, because those titles are also used everywhere else in the catalog. Pie and bar charts have no label override at all; the documentation says label formatting is “not currently supported”. ## Request Let the dashboard author fully control the label of each plotted series: A per-series label (or legendTitle ) field on multi-line-chart lines. When it is set, it is used verbatim as the legend and tooltip text, with no property title added. Where one line plots several properties, a per-property label override, for example a map from property to display label. The same per-value display-label override for pie and bar chart slices and bars. Optionally, a legend layout setting (position, wrapping, or full text instead of truncation) so long labels stay readable. ## Why it matters Many dashboards compare the same metric across entities such as teams or windows, so the property title is identical on every line. Repeating it adds no information and pushes out the part that matters. Labels managed as infrastructure-as-code (Terraform port_page ) could be kept short and consistent across dashboards without renaming blueprint properties. It would bring Port in line with common charting tools, which treat series names as author-defined.
