Why is the charting.reverse option for scatter chart not working in my dashboard panel?

Dear Splunk Community,

In the current implementation of my dashboard, I have a scatter chart panel for which I am trying to turn the y-axis upside down (minValue is 340, should be at the top; maxValue is 490, should be at the bottom). When searching for this issue, I stumbled upon the true feature, which does not seem to effect the plotting at all. I am using Splunk Enterprise 6.4.1. Is it possible that this option does not work anymore as I was not able to find any current documentation? Here is the xml-code in question:

<dashboard>
  <label>Test</label>
  <row>
    <panel>
      <chart>
        <title>SpurVL</title>
        <search>
          <query>source="/home/ubuntu/test/out/*" host="ip-172-31-24-90" sourcetype="spursturz" | table Umkehrpunkt SpurVL HoeheVL</query>
          <earliest>0</earliest>
        </search>
        <option name="charting.axisLabelsX.majorLabelStyle.overflowMode">ellipsisNone</option>
        <option name="charting.axisLabelsX.majorLabelStyle.rotation">0</option>
        <option name="charting.axisTitleX.visibility">visible</option>
        <option name="charting.axisTitleY.visibility">visible</option>

        <option name="charting.legend.placement">right</option>
        <option name="charting.axisX.minimumNumber">-10</option>
        <option name="charting.axisX.maximumNumber">35</option>
        <option name="charting.axisY.minimumNumber">490</option> 
        <option name="charting.axisY.maximumNumber">340</option>
        <option name="charting.axisY.reverse">true</option>
        <option name="charting.chart.showMarkers">true</option>
        <option name="charting.chart.markerSize">1</option>
      </chart>
    </panel>
  </row>

Thanks in advance!

Hi @muellernc,
This is not a currently supported option for Simple XML.

Hope this helps!

Thanks for your reply!
As I understand the situation advanced xml is deprecated as of Splunk 6.3. Does this therefore indicate that there is no option to reverse an axis anymore? (except for a "cheating" solution by multiplying y axis values with -1)

Hi!
It's correct that Advanced XML is deprecated as of 6.3 and there is not a supported way to reverse an axis in Simple XML currently.

Hope this helps!
