URL: https://github.com/apache/echarts/issues/21080
### What problem does this feature solve?
In multilevel drilldown bar charts, there is currently no built-in way to
maintain an accurate and dynamic legend that reflects the categories at each
drill level.
For example, when clicking a bar to drill down, the new chart renders
correctly, but the legend either:
disappears, shows only a static category (e.g. one series.name), or needs to
be manually reconstructed using series-per-category (which breaks drilldown
event handling and transitions).
This limits usability.
A dynamic legend would let users instantly identify what each bar color
represents without relying solely on axis labels or tooltips.
Right now, I’m using tooltips and axis labels to show this, but the absence
of a clear, auto-updating legend degrades UX — especially for data-heavy
dashboards
### What does the proposed API look like?
legend: {
type: 'drilldown', // new type: behaves like 'scroll' or 'plain'
followData: true, // legend auto-populates from current
series.data[].name
matchItemColor: true, // use itemStyle.color from series.data[i]
textStyle: { fontSize: 14 },
}
