Hi there,

I previously submitted a ticket about adding a legend to a Pie chart and I wanted to build on that ask with another question.

Like I said in that ticket, I was able to enable the legends in all pie charts by using a Highcharts Theme file (see code snippet below). 

/*
Settings to configure styling for Highcharts
https://www.highcharts.com/docs/chart-design-and-style/themeshttps://www.highcharts.com/docs/chart-design-and-style/themes/
*/
Highcharts.theme = {
    colors: ['#21d279', '#393745', '#6263ed', '#8adcfc', '#a0a1a5'],
    plotOptions: {
        pie: {
            dataLabels: {
                enabled: true,
                connectorShape: 'straight',
                distance: '-30%',
                color: 'white',
                format: '<b>{point.name} FFFFFFF</b>: {point.percentage:.1f}%',
                style: {
                    borderColor: 'green',
                    color: '#000',
                    fontSize: '20px',
                    fontFamily: 'FoundersGroteskTextWeb-Regular, Helvetica, Arial sans-serif',
                    textOutline: 'none'
                },
            },
            showInLegend: true,
        }
    }
};
// Apply the theme
Highcharts.setOptions(Highcharts.theme);

Moreover, I know my theme object code is working because properties like "showInLegend" and "distance" are working and being applied to all charts. However, not all properties in that object are working. For instance, when I try to format the charts using the "format" property, it doesn't work. Unfortunately for that specific property I have to rely on a wpDataTables callback function.

I imagine this is because settings/code in wpDataTables are overwriting the settings in this object. Is there any way I can force the Highcharts charts to rely on just the settings in the object? Without having to write a callback function for each chart?

I'm comfortable with removing code, writing functions, etc so I'm happy to do whatever needs to be done to make that happen. I just need some guidance and would be so appreciative if it's possible :)

Thank you!

Thanks, Blaženka!

It'd be a great feature so just requesting it in a future release if possible ;)
