label inside each dataset

[secabhi]

Hi , I have a two level donut chart , I want have specific labels for 1st level donut chart and specific label for second label . Do we have this?

Each object of dataset should have label

labels: ["January", "February", "March", "April", "May", "June", "July"],
datasets: [
{
labels: ["d1","d2","d3","d4","d5","d6","d7"]
data: [65, 59, 80, 81, 56, 55, 40],
}
]

-- labels are specific to the data inside dataset

I don't know if this is currently possible. You might be able to override the tooltip methods and do this but the support isn't native.

It's astonishing to me (please don't think I'm being hyperbolic, I love this library) that labels are NOT explicitly associated with data points. Is this a massive oversight?

[etimberg]

The issue with labels per dataset becomes, what does the axis display. If there is only 1 dataset it's very clear, but when there are multiple datasets it's not. Having the labels defined for the entire chart data isn't ideal either and is really a legacy from V1.

One possible idea is #3193 which is asking for the labels to be defined by the axis itself.

I see...it's actually the labels legacy problem (labels defined for the entire chart) that led me here...

I'm trying to do the same. I would like to add labels to multiple datasets in order to explain data. Currently, I can only insert labels and the same labels would reflect on the inner datasets too?

This can easily be done now by overriding the tooltip callbacks. Example: https://jsfiddle.net/jd4nakuf/2/

I don't think we want to add this to the core at this point.
