Hi

I use webinar\_plugins to create my own plugin (it is working great)  
I have one parameters that I need to enter manually and to received it when I press on the value.

I thought to add it to Buckets to Custom Label editor, my problem is that I don't succeed to read it from the plugin.  
metricDiv.addEventListener('click', () =\> {  
// NEED TO READ THE Custom Label text  
// HOW?  
}

See below code

const table = visData.tables[0];  
const metrics = [];  
let bucketAgg;

```
  table.columns.forEach((column, i) => {
           table.rows.forEach(row => {
      const value = row[i];
      const title = bucketAgg ? `${row[0]} ${column.title}` : column.title;

  

      const metricDiv = document.createElement('div');
      metricDiv.className = 'myvis-metric-div';

       metricDiv.addEventListener('click', () => {
               // NEED TO READ THE Custom Label text 
               // HOW?
       }

```

}

Thanks

Thanks a lot, it is very important for me.  
The custom label is not must, I can. Read also from option tab.

I need to read a string from visualization plugin (from custom label or option tab)

Thanks again

thats correct, to get it from options tab you can access it on `vis.params.yourparametername`

to read the custom label, you can read it from `vis.aggs`

- find the aggregation you are interested in .... like Count or something you set in your settings
- call `makeLabel()` on it
