I have a series "TOTALSA" which i have given the displayname "vehicle_sales".

However, when i plot transformations of that series, my graph does not show the appropriate displayname (it shows "@pcy(totalsa)") (see chart attached).

Any way to have transformations take the display name of the original series by default?

Unfortunately not.

Of course you can always overwrite the legend of the graph to be whatever you want.

Ah ok. That could work.

Is there a way to automate it such that if the series transformation "@PCY(TOTALSA)" is used in any graph, override the legend for that chart (will save me cycling through hundreds of charts)

I'm thinking a matrix (called names for example) [["pcy(totalsa)", "vehicle sales yoy"],[...],[...]], whereby i can write a program to look in names and override the legend...?

That could work, although you'd have to use a table rather than a matrix (matrices can only hold numbers).
