I am also interested in knowing if individual points can be labeled, or if vertical lines can be dropped onto the chart at specific timestamps. This would be huge for data visualization.

The new ReportNoteChart component functions like the native [Timeseries Chart](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC81/Report+Charts#ReportCharts-TimeseriesChart), but with the data key property and other properties needed to display timestamped annotations.

Found a way doing this with a trick by adding a new pen with a style of bar with no shadow, then adjust the color to 0 opacity of that pen and enable the labels option.

And it will show the sample with line and value label on it! ignition is full of tricks haha
