What I'm trying to do

I'm using a Dashboard to compare forecast vs actuals across two separate lists, both sharing the same custom fields (date and state). I've successfully added both lists as separate series in a single bar chart widget, which is great. However, the chart only renders as a stacked bar, meaning both series stack into one combined bar per date rather than sitting side by side.

What's missing

A grouped bar chart option, where each series renders as its own bar within the same date/category grouping. This is a standard chart type in most visualisation tools and is particularly important for any comparison use case: forecast vs actuals, target vs result, team A vs team B.

Why it matters

Stacked bars show combined totals. Grouped bars show the gap between two values. For operational planning and performance tracking, the gap is exactly what I need to see. Without grouped bars, the only workaround is two separate charts stacked vertically, which is harder to read and less convincing for stakeholders.

What the fix looks like

A simple toggle in the chart widget settings, Stacked vs Grouped, when more than one data series is present. Most charting libraries support this natively so hopefully it's a relatively low-lift addition on the backend.
