Format upgrade for Interactive Chart axes

For charts with a secondary Y axis, it would be helpful to be able to apply dollar signs to one Y axis and percentage signs to the other Y axis. 

 

While the axis labels can say "These are dollars" and "These are percentages", the chart would be quicker to grasp if the units themselves were labeled.

Thank you for your feedback on the Interactive Chart tool! I did some quick testing in the newest version, 2020.2 and it appears you can by going to Axes > Titles and selecting the Y Axes you'd like to update the title of and inputting the needed symbol. Does that meet your needs? If not could you provide an example or case where showing the chart is not being able to update with symbols?

I've gone to Axes > Titles and selected the axis I want.  I've updated the Title in the white box under the Rich Text - B / x2 etc.  Where do I input the symbol that I want on all the numbers displayed on that axis?

+1 for this request: the Interactive Chart tool is a great concept for being able to generate visuals directly in a Alteryx workflow without having to output the data to excel, but in it's current state I can't utilize it for anything I would distribute or present.  Being able to properly format the axes as dollars and percentages is crucial for utilizing this tool for any sort of report generation.
