FMX Chart Editor issues

We are using the ChartEditor in our projects to edit Charts at runtime, and to enable our customers to create Chart templates.
Now with FMX we are facing several issues.

Issues detected just today (Using V 2021.33):

When adding a Shape Series, you cannot select a Style, or Text alignment, or the units.
In the FMXTee.Editor.Series.Shape the Combo boxes are empty, and the RadioGroup things were not ported to FMX.
At least the new FMX - TRadiogroup was not filled with items using the Add function.

I did not try all the available Series types, to check for similar issues though..

In OSX some of the labels are broken, wrapped, or cut off because of formatting in the individual FMXTee.Editor.xyz files
Example:

This issue spreads over a few different Editor tabs.

If pressing the Add Series Button in the Chart Editor, the Series Gallery view gets created as usual.
Now, if you resize the window, before selecting anything..The Application will hang. (This is on OSX only, not inside the IDE)
This are the units included in the executable: (Maybe I miss something)
FMXTee.Engine,
FMXTee.Procs,
FMXTee.Chart,
FMXTee.Editor.EditorPanel,
FMXTee.Series,
FMXTee.Series.Shape,
FMXTee.Store,FMXTee.Tools,
...
FMXTee.Editor.Tools.ColorLine, //every tool supported in the editor needs to add here..
FMXTee.Editor.Tools.Annotation,
...

This is more a suggestion:
In the individual Series Data Source Tab, under Manual, it would be nice to have at least X and Y columns available.
Text and Y alone is not enough in most cases.
We often use this to put a static Series overlaying some dynamic data..

Your response is very much appreciated

Best Regards

I've seen that so I've added to the public tracker at #2486. And I've corrected it.

What TeeChart version are you using? We should have been fixed this in v2020.29 at #2263.

The X column is shown as soon as you have some X data on that value list.

Note the editor is a quite complex tool thought to help developers to design the charts writing less code and it's not recommended for final users. Instead, you could create you own editor exposing those properties you'd like the user to play with.
