I have a line chart visualization for time series data.  
The chart has,  
Y axis - metric  
X axis - data ascending order and sub bucket with split lines.  
So I have line chart with multiple lines.  
I would like to show a metadata field in tool tip but that field is not used in the chart.  
Is there a way to do this?

Thank you.

This seems interesting feature. Currently its not possible. I would suggest you to file an enhancement request here 🙂
