get some idea from the following post.

> [@Get value from hovered slice in a Pie Chart](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/get-value-from-hovered-slice-in-a-pie-chart/41205):

> Anyone knows how to get the value from the currently hovered slice in a pie chart? In the below figure, the value 21438 should be collected, and written to a custom property in e.g. another component: [image] Ignition version 8.1.0 Thanks!

by enabling the selection, I can now get the index value.  
the format is:

```auto
../XYChart.props.selection.data[0].index

```
