Description

Feature request

Is your feature request related to a problem?

Some of the auto generated legend entries are long and populate too much of the dashboard. I have entries that read like [ ] sum of count of xxx.

Describe the solution you'd like

I would like to edit them myself so that they fit on the screen. E.g. it would be nice to just reduce the label to xxx.

Describe alternatives you've considered

I asked your agent to help me, and it forwarded me here.
