How to show Help (?) without Turning On the Caption of a Chart?

Hi Team,

I have some charts where I have disabled the Captions and those are toggled and activated by Buttons.

So as the Caption bar is not available, how can I show the Help text displayed on the Top Right corner of the chart?

You cant as Caption Bar has to be visible to show Special icons.

You can however make the active/inactive Caption Background color Transparent and still show Help and other special Icons of chart

You can trigger a textbox(with Rectangle image)  that looks like your Caption and is sitting behind your chart

Expanding on Jonathan's suggestion. Text objects display the caption help text when hovered on. So add your helptext to a textbox and put whatever you want (like "?" or "Help") in the box and place it on top of your chart. Make sure you set the Layout layer to Top.
