Include name of the chart Type in Property panel

In the property panel of any chart, only the Icon of the chart type is displayed. In case of extensions, it is quite difficult to identify which extension has been used by looking at the properties (if there is no About section).

It would be very helpful for developers, if Chart type name or Extension name (as shown in the Chart assets panel) is displayed next to the icon on top of the properties panel.

It would also be helpful - either in the properties panel, or the online help to indicate when a specific chart feature became available e.g. horizontal reference lines ( Sept 2020 ) etc. With many customers having different versions product development and upgrades would be facilitated.

Hello,

This is also why I suggested a native working extension usage dashboard (there is a lot of trouble on it, especially on extension/native object disambiguation). It's a nightmare to identify what viz type is used. Especially when Qlik add a new type (but that doesn't mean Qlik shouldn't add new type 😉  )


Best regards,

Simon
