The XY Chart component is based off of amCharts’ XY Chart. see tooltip documentation [here](https://www.amcharts.com/docs/v4/concepts/tooltips/#Series_tooltips).

You can add other properties to the XY Chart that correspond to the amCharts XY Chart and they’ll work. In this instance, adding `tooltipText`to the root of your series seems to work for displaying series tooltips. I haven’t finished reading the amCharts documentation to see if there’s a better way, but this seems to do fine.
