> Good morning, I'm struggling trying to display the tooltip in an XY Chart basing on a condition. I would like to change the text depending on the value of a series property. In my case I have the "stato\_lotto" property and I'm trying to do something like this: if( '{stato\_lotto}' = 'NO', 'Posizione: [bold] {nomeTooltip}' + "[/] \n" , 'Lotto: [bold] {stato\_lotto}' + "[/] \n" ) The tooltip is shown, but it doesn't change based on {stato\_lotto} value. Is this approach wrong?
