Hello,

Some thing I always disliked about Vertical Bar charts legends in kibana is the fact that the legend is half of the time not customizable and has always the same width. The result is that in a lot of graphs, all values seem identical, because they are incomplete. It would be nice to allow us to configure:

- a dynamic width, which stretches (to a sane % of the actual graph)
- a fixed custom width

Is there already a feature request to add legend width configuration to Vertical Bar charts in Kibana? If not, can I create one?

Grtz

Willem

Hi @willemdh,

This makes a lot of sense to me and I haven't found an issue already tracking this. Kibana is using Github as a central place to collect these things, could you kindly create a [feature request there](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/new?template=Feature_request.md)?
