Custom data

[mykolaParticipant]

Hi!
Is it possible to add some custom data fields to series?
What I want is if I have such fields:

datafields: [{ name: 'Date', type: 'date' }, { name: 'price-actual'}
    , { name: 'myData1'}, { name: 'price-close1'}, {name: 'price-open1'}
    , { name: 'myData2'}, { name: 'price-close2'}, {name: 'price-open2'}
],

and these series groups:

var mySeriesGroups = [{
    type: 'candlestick', 
    toolTipFormatFunction: toolTipCustomFormatFn,
    series: [{ displayText: '1-st away', lineColor: '#993300', fillColor: '#993300',
          dataFieldClose: 'price-close1', dataFieldOpen:'price-open1',
          dataFieldHigh: 'price-close1', dataFieldLow:'price-open1'}]
  }, {
    type: 'candlestick', 
    toolTipFormatFunction: toolTipCustomFormatFn,
    series: [{ displayText: '2-nd away', lineColor: '#333300', fillColor: '#333300',
          dataFieldClose: 'price-close2', dataFieldOpen: 'price-open2',
          dataFieldHigh: 'price-close2', dataFieldLow: 'price-open2'}]
}];

how would I read “myData1” and “myData2” inside toolTipCustomFormatFn function?
If I just add them as fields to series, like this:

    series: [{ displayText: '2-nd away', lineColor: '#333300', fillColor: '#333300',
          dataFieldClose: 'price-close2', dataFieldOpen: 'price-open2', <strong>myData: 'myData2'</strong>,
          dataFieldHigh: 'price-close2', dataFieldLow: 'price-open2'}]

I will get a string with ‘myData2’ value when I try to read serie.myData in toolTipCustomFormatFn function instead of an actual data.

Hello mykola,

One option is to use Your ‘dataAdapter’ (something similar to var dataItem = dataAdapter.records[itemIndex];).
With this approach would get each one datafield.
You could look at our demo:
