Hi together, I have in Perspective a XY chart and try to use the selection to filter another chart. If I select one bar in the first char everything is alright. My problem is, that I have several series in my first chart, so the user is able to select one bar of each series. For the filter of the second chart I use the firstchart.selection.data[0] array. So it still works if several series are selected, but I think it's not very userfriendly. For example: EA2\_1 has the series: R3,R4,R5 and R6 EA2\_3 has the series: R7, R8 and R9 So the user is able to select all 7 bars. (In the picture R3,R4 and R9 are selected) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/d/9/d9caa72e4f1540b65e04151b09f46555913f48ed.png) In firstchart.selection.data[0] you can find the first clicked series. My goal is, that the user is only able to select 1 of these 7 bar. Or what would be also ok, that he is only able to select bars out of one category EA2\_1 or EA2\_3 If you know any other smart way, to select the category by clicking at the data I would be happy. Thank you in advance Inken ---

Hi [Inken\_Kestler](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/u/Inken_Kestler), Unfortunately, there is no option to limit selection in Perspective XY Chart to one data series. There is a feature request has been created. ---
