The rendering components (`EchartsTimeseries.tsx`, `Echart.tsx`) pass `echartOptions` through without modifying axis names [[1]](https://github.com/apache/superset/blob/829e4d92d91ceae4b43b1ed3b063ffe45377799c/superset-frontend/plugins/plugin-chart-echarts/src/Timeseries/EchartsTimeseries.tsx#L275). The `x_axis_title` control itself is a plain `TextControl` with `default: ''` and no `mapStateToProps` or auto-population logic [[2]](https://github.com/apache/superset/blob/829e4d92d91ceae4b43b1ed3b063ffe45377799c/superset-frontend/plugins/plugin-chart-echarts/src/Timeseries/Regular/Bar/cont rolPanel.tsx#L63-L73). I also checked recent PRs — #36993 only auto-adjusts axis title **margins** (not titles), and #39447 only changed default margin values [[3]](https://github.com/apache/superset/pull/36993) [[4]](https://github.com/apache/superset/pull/39447). **I wasn't able to reproduce the described behavior from the code.** There's no code path I can find that would set `xAxis.name` to a unit/grain value. A few things that might explain what the reporter is seeing: 1. **Axis labels vs. axis title confusion** — The temporal grain *does* affect X-axis **tick labels** (via `axisLabel.formatter`), which are the values displayed along the axis. These are separate from the axis **title** (the descriptive text beside the axis). If the "unit" text the reporter sees is actually in the tick labels, that's expected behavior. 2. **Orientation-based control visibility** — The Bar chart shows/hides `x_axis_title` vs `y_axis_title` based on orientation [[5]](https://github.com/apache/superset/blob/829e4d92d91ceae4b43b1ed3b063ffe45377799c/superset-frontend/plugins/plugin-chart-echarts/src/Timeseries/Regular/Bar/controlPanel.tsx#L56-L70). In horizontal mode, the `x_axis_title` control is hidden and `y_axis_title` is shown instead (since the axes swap at line 547). If the reporter entered a title in the wrong control for their orientation, it wouldn't appear where expected. 3. **Legacy migration** — There was a historical rename from `x_axis_label` to `x_axis_title`. If an older chart had a stored value from before the migration, it could show up unexpectedly. It would help to get clarification from the reporter on: - Whether the "unit" text appears as the axis **title** (label beside the axis) or in the **tick labels** (values along the axis) - What exact text is being shown - Whether they're using vertical or horizontal orientation - A browser DevTools screenshot of the `formData` object would definitively show whether `x_axis_title` contains their custom value or something else <!-- Dosu Comment Footer --> *To reply, just mention [@dosu](<https://go.dosu.dev/dosubot?utm_source=github&utm_medium=bot-comment&utm_campaign=github-comment-footer-20260415&utm_content=reply-with-mention&utm_term=apache%2Fsuperset>).* --- Docs are dead.
