Configure Waterfall Charts with Custom Labels and Legends

This feature offers enhanced flexibility, allowing designers to customize Waterfall Charts according to specific business needs. The update introduces two key visual improvements to the Waterfall Chart component:

• Custom Total Labels: Users can now create a meaningful, custom label for the Total bar. Instead of the generic label "Total," you can use specific terms that align with your business, such as "Year-End Revenue," "Ending Balance," or "Net Position".
• Legend Control: Dashboard designers now have the option to hide the chart legend. This feature is particularly beneficial for streamlined charts where the color coding is self-explanatory, or when it is essential to maximize the available screen space for the data itself.
