The UI for the chart designer in 2.0M3 has changed significantly and it
doesn't appear the help has caught up yet, so I'm having trouble
figuring out how to do this now...
I have a report where i want more than 2 y-axes. I used to be able to
specify the number of y axes on the Data->X Axis page. In the new Edit
Chart UI I don't see a place where you can specify the number of y-axes.
There is a check-box on the "Select Chart Type" page of the Edit Chart
dialog for "add secondary axis" but checking that and specifying a
series type only seems to add 1 additional axis.
I have some reports from pre 2.0M3 which had more than 2 y-axes and I
can open them in 2.0M3 and they show more than 2 y-axes on the "Select
Chart Type" page. But, I'm unclear on how to do this when starting from
scratch.
Any pointers to where this has gone, how to do it, or if it is a bug,
would be appreciated.

Hi James,
We have simplified the UI to make it easier to use, so we added a 2 Y Axis
limitation, which allows us to greatly improve the usability of the UI (we
removed the 2 Y Series limitation already if you get a recent nightly
build). We appreciate your feedback on this matter, and will work on
enabling any number of Y Axes. Please file a bugzilla entry to track drown
that feature. Can you give also give us some scenarios where you need
several Y Axes and can't do without them?
Thanks,
David
