Hello, when viewing a chart with the type "column_line" and "showDataLabels: true" at times the labels are overlapping. How to solve this?

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out to us.

We recommend using the afterchartdraw event to detect the overlapping labels and update the overlapping label's coordinates.
You are welcome to check the following JSFiddle demonstrating the described approach: https://jsfiddle.net/flexmonster/08aez1uq/.

Please let us know if it works for you. Looking forward to hearing from you.

Kind regards,
Nadia

I understand, but wouldn't that be a bug? Shouldn't the Flexmonster library itself handle this scenario in a global way?
