I have been running into some issues with the XY chart when it comes to changing the font color of some labels that I have configured to display above a bar graph. I have tried changing the text color with the style selector and it does not change the color at all. I was wondering if this may be bugged.

Hi. I am struggling to get the labels show up on top of each bar. can you please let me know which property in the Chart Props would make these labels visible always? right now, the only way the label values are appearing is when we hover over each bar.

It's a bit late but here's the solution:  
On the 'text' property of the label, you just have to specify your color.
