Changing the character limit on secondary dimension legend

Hi,

I would like to just check that if this really is a limitation in QlikView or have I not understood something. I have a stacked bar chart with two dimensions and the second dimension is shown as a legend.

Problem is, it does not show more than 15 characters for the secondary dimension. I can change the amount of legend characters for the primary dimension, but it affects only that one. Haven't found a way to show the whole names of the dimension members, could you help?

As I said, I can control the amount of characters of the primary dimension legend and I do it this way. Here's another picture where I changed the said value to 5. As you can see, the primary dimension shows now only 5 characters but the secondary still the same 15...

I'm such an idiot, you can select the dimension you want to control Thank you and sorry for wasting your time!

The list isn't that obvious there for this chart and that's why I missed it:
