Is it possible to get a tooltip on individual points on a box plot?

[gisheri]

I would like to show a tooltip for each point in a horizontal box plot

The outlier points get their own tooltip, but I can only seem to trigger a tooltip for the entire box area for any non-outliers. The tooltip item in the callbacks and filters doesn't help, because item in the argument only refers to the entire box as well, so i can't seem to narrow it down there. I've tried setting the interaction mode to point, but it doesn't seem to change this functionality.

I'm on 3.7.2

Thanks

this plugin doesn't support tooltips on individual points. On outliers (i.e. the grey point on the left), they should automatically appear.

I am not sure if combing scatter plot and box plot is the correct way to do,
but it seems working for showing tooltip for a single point.

const boxplotData = {
  // define label tree
  labels: ['January', 'February', 'March', 'April', 'May', 'June', 'July'],
  datasets: [{
    label: 'Dataset 1',
    backgroundColor: 'rgba(255,0,0,0.5)',
    borderColor: 'red',
    borderWidth: 1,
    outlierColor: '#999999',
    padding: 10,
    itemRadius: 0,
    order: 2,
    data: [
      randomValues(100, 0, 100),
      randomValues(100, 0, 20),
      randomValues(100, 20, 70),
      randomValues(100, 60, 100),
      randomValues(40, 50, 100),
      randomValues(100, 60, 120),
      randomValues(100, 80, 100)
    ]
  },{
    type: 'scatter',
    label: 'Scatter Dataset',
    borderColor: 'rgb(75, 192, 192)',
    data:[{
      x: 'January',
      y: 20
    }, {
      x: 'January',
      y: 40
    }],
    order:1,
  }]
};
