Experience Builder Line Chart Data Labels Overlapping Category Axis Labels

Question

I'm using Experience Builder line charts and have data labels enabled for my series. I've selected the "Top" alignment for the data labels, but some labels still appear below their data points. This creates an issue where certain labels overlap with the x‑axis labels.

Is this a known issue, or is there a workaround or setting that can help keep all labels positioned above their points?

Just to elaborate on this a bit more, I have a single chart that has a filter that changes what variables are being displayed on the chart. It is a line chart and some have value points with associated data labels set to 'top' alignment.

On the charts where there are multiple series, the alignment behaves normally and the data label is shown above the point:

On that same exact chart, when I change the variable filter to the specific variable that does not have multiple series on the chart and therefore does not have a legend, the data labels no longer follow the set alignment and then overlap with the category axis:

I hope this helps clarify the issue I am experiencing. Thanks again for your help @DanielFox1

@DanielFox1 The range of my data varies too much to manually set the value range. I have a filter in my experience builder that changes what variable is being displayed on the charts. Some variables range is very minimal like the snow water equivalent (shown below) which ranges from 0 to 0.3, whereas other variables, such as temperature, vary from -30 to the 90s.

Therefore, preconfiguring the value axis with a range would not highlight the variation properly when trying to display these different variables. I am also trying to reduce the number of chart widgets to simplify the experience builder and therefore am relying on the filter and the auto-calculated range of the data.

I don't understand why the data labels don't stay within the bounds of the chart and why they are not displaying on the top of the points, as I configured. Even if I manually set the minimum value to my dataset's minimum value, this would still happen on a chart containing the min value.

The best way I found around this was to change the value in the axis value range change the min and max value that will make the labels not overlap
