Hello, a second question: With a line chart, when using "Compare the period with" to prior periods, the tooltip for the data points shows the correct values, but not the correct dates for the "prior period" data points. Is this a bug and/or is there a way to work around this? See thread for example

This behavior—where the tooltip in a line chart shows the correct values for prior period comparisons, but not the correct dates (i.e., it displays the current period's date for both lines)—is a known limitation in GoodData. It is not considered a bug, but rather an area identified for potential improvement. The product team is aware of this issue, and feedback has been submitted by multiple users. Currently, there is no configuration or workaround available to change the tooltip to display the actual prior period dates; the tooltip will show the current period's date for both the current and prior period values, even though the values themselves are correct for their respective periods. Here are relevant confirmations from GoodData support: - "This is expected behaviour, as it reflects how our platform is currently designed. While the year displayed shows 2025, the value itself is correct for the previous year. Our product team is already aware of this, and feedback has been submitted."

I will definitely create a product feedback on your behalf."

If this behavior is critical for your use case, you may want to follow up with GoodData support or your account representative to reinforce the feedback.

Hi James, It is true that we don't consider this as a bug but I will submit a product feedback on your behalf so our product team is aware that more customers are asking about this.
Thank you for sharing your experience with our product.

Thank you, appreciate it!
Curious if there is a forum/board of any type for product feedback where we could see and potentially vote on issues?

🎉 New note created.

Thats a very nice idea, but sadly no. Our Product Board is only internal. However, should there be any important feature request/feedback from you, you can always check or push the status with your account owner Greta Jakubovskaja.

OK thank you!
