When I've got 10 tooltips, I don't want all of those tooltips to appear in the chart title. If I use a custom title, it's no longer dynamic and means it won't convey which level in the hierarchy the chart is currently showing. A simple 'exclude tooltips' option in title formatting will do the trick though.

It's 2023 and this is still a problem.

I completely agree. What is everyone else doing?

RE: exclude tooltips from title option

Am I missing something? Nobody else uses hierarchies (dynamic title necessary) and tooltips in the same visualisations?? Either that or their titles are a huge list of metric names. Put simply, with 7 tooltips and a few measures on a viz, the title is unreadable. Tooltips should not be included in titles in my opinion, it just doesn't make sense - a tooltip is not shown on a viz, surely that's the point?? So surely a viz title is a description of what it's actually showing?!
