Interactive Chart Tool: add data labels to bar chart?

Is it possible to add data labels to a bar chart in the Interactive Chart Tool? This was possible in the deprecated Charting Tool, but I can't figure out how to add labels in the new Interactive Chart Tool.

I see that there is an option to add labels for a pie chart, but can't find that option for a bar chart.

The chart I'd like to replicate is something like this:

Thanks!

Hi Kelly,

No, this is not currently possible. I could've sworn I posted this issue as an idea a few months ago, but I can't for the life of me find it. Ever post an idea? Create one, and then people can "star" it, which will get it more visibility.

But first let's check with Alex (@apolly) to see if they already have it on their plan. Alex - I thought I reported this a few months ago, but I cannot remember. Is this on the plan to modify? Especially important when rendering to PDF, where you can't hover. Thanks!

Hi Kelly,

Thanks, @mbarone - I'll definitely add it as a new idea, if I can't locate yours. I wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something obvious!

Has there been an update to this functionality? This is an incredibly frustrating shortcoming of the tool!
