GitHub user madankgit created a discussion: Chart Legend: Limited Flexibility in Selection and Display
### Bug description Superset chart legends offer limited control over selecting, filtering, and customizing legend entries. Users cannot easily restrict which legend values appear or control their display behavior, reducing flexibility in chart configuration. **Steps to Reproduce** 1. Create any chart with categorical breakdown (e.g., Bar, Line, or Area chart). 2. Add Multiple dimension to Group By / Series to generate multiple legend entries. 3. Open the Customize tab and review available legend-related options. <br><br> **Expected Behavior** Users should be able to selectively include or exclude legend values, limit the number of legend entries, control legend display behavior to improve chart clarity, and optionally reveal hidden legend values via tooltips. <img width="646" height="259" alt="Image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/3d68045a-6b29-48c7-aa50-c9e5669c1d11"; /> <img width="673" height="286" alt="Image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/7c772ef0-af51-4835-a717-8887e4fc922a"; /> <br><br> **Actual Behavior** All legend values are automatically displayed with limited configuration options, regardless of relevance or visual clarity. <img width="686" height="274" alt="Image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/6c0e353f-8410-4f7b-9b6e-23f297596c81"; /> <br><br> **Impact** Charts become cluttered and harder to interpret when many legend values exist. Users must rely on dataset-level filtering or custom queries to manage legend visibility. ### Screenshots/recordings _No response_ ### Superset version 6.0.0 ### Python version 3.9 ### Node version 16 ### Browser Chrome ### Additional context _No response_ ### Checklist - [ ] I have searched Superset docs and Slack and didn't find a solution to my problem. - [ ] I have searched the GitHub issue tracker and didn't find a similar bug report. - [ ] I have checked Superset's logs for errors and if I found a relevant Python stacktrace, I included it here as text in the "additional context" section.
