My question is a near opposite to the post [How to use upper and lower control limits in time series](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/how-to-use-upper-and-lower-control-limits-in-time-series/82202):

I'm still very new and exploring. As soon as I figured out how to add a baseline, I wanted to label it with the value. How may I get it and pass it into the label text?

Can you take a screengrab of what you've got, overlay the label you want on it and post it here?

I don't think you can display fixed labels on the Time Series Chart component, however. xTrace is the built-in value display method. Note that in the question you linked that the recommended solution was the XY Chart component.
