Stacked bar chart, multiple series, named data

I did a lot of digging and it seems we do not have a way to create multiple stacked bars containing named data. I mean a scenario where all the datapoints have unique names and values. So with a pseudo-syntax:

series1: [{"name":"A1a","data":[71]},{"name":"A1b","data":[54]},{"name":"A1c","data":[12]}],
series2: [{"name":"A1d","data":[17]},{"name":"A1e","data":[21]}],
series3: [{"name":"A2a","data":[97]},{"name":"A2b","data":[43]},{"name":"A3a","data":[81]},{"name":"A3b","data":[96]}]

Am I missing something? Does this make sense or is it too much of a corner case to even consider?

This is possible, just not documented currently 😃

You can attach any data you want in the series and then target in tooltips/dataLabels. You need to change the format of the data a little bit.

series: [{
  name: 'A',
  data: [{
      x: "A1",
      y: 10,
      name: 'Custom A1 Label' 
  }, {
      x: "A2",
      y: 16,
      name: 'Custom A2 Label' 
  }, {
      x: "A3",
      y: 11,
      name: 'Custom A3 Label' 
  }],
}, {
  name: 'B',
  data: [{
      x: "B1",
      y: 20,
      name: 'Custom B1 Label' 
  }, {
      x: "B2",
      y: 36,
      name: 'Custom B2 Label' 
  }, {
      x: "B3",
      y: 19,
      name: 'Custom B3 Label' 
  }],
}, {
  name: 'C',
  data: [{
      x: "C1",
      y: 16,
      name: 'Custom C1 Label' 
  }, {
      x: "C2",
      y: 6,
      name: 'Custom C2 Label' 
  }, {
      x: "C3",
      y: 12,
      name: 'Custom C3 Label' 
  }],
}],
tooltip: {
    x: { 
        show: true,
        formatter: function(val, opt) {
            var seriesIndex = opt.seriesIndex
            var dataPointIndex = opt.dataPointIndex

            return opt.w.config.series[seriesIndex].data[dataPointIndex].name
        }
    },
    y: {
        title: {
            formatter: function (seriesName, opt) {
                var seriesIndex = opt.seriesIndex
                var dataPointIndex = opt.dataPointIndex

                return opt.w.config.series[seriesIndex].data[dataPointIndex].x
            }
        }
    }
},

@HammSoftware do u find an answer ? )

We decided to migrate to Highcharts in the end.
