Sorry. I am new to glide and this is my first question here! ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/7/8/78a49c46a61ad75dc0cec941ac3e2fa921e7247e.png) ![Screenshot 2025-09-14 at 13.30.49](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/2/0/20e9bc5a10fc0b6fadec232f1fc104ba08d284a8.png) There’s no option to add a secondary access for the graphs that I am building. I’ve asked chatgpt and it has confirmed that there is no way to do this. Which makes most of my charts useless… is this correct, or is there a simple way to fix this? I can’t imagine glide doesn’t actually allow a secondary axis for charts its such a simple but improtant thing ---

The original (not beta) chart allows multiple Y axis items. Edit: Actually, so does the new one. Just click on “Add item” under content. ![CleanShot 2025-09-14 at 20.38.44@2x](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/c/8/c80b91e50df80a5a8cef05c8d675d0976434c4f7.png) ---

Thanks so much, Darren. Appreciate the help But adding an item only allows you to create another series on the same axis. It doesn’t actually open a y axis and there’s no option to do so. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/3/8/38a174c5cd4bfbc25024c5cefa8dcbf6d8a35fe7.jpeg) ---

oh, right. I see. No, that’s not supported. Only thing I can suggest is to experiment with the AI component. ---

Got it - thanks! one question then you had mentioned y axis was supported with the original graph. Would you know how to enable it? Or does it have the same fallback as the new type of chart? Thanks again ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/8/8/889d0ecd55b68f8c5d618633256541f2cc45870b.jpeg) ---
