No option to highlight on select for Boxplot chart

For instance , when we click a Bar in the Bar Chart, that specific bar is highlighted. In other words, the bar on which we click, turns to grey fill with black border.

The bar chart, hence, has a clickable option to select the specific bar which is highlighted.
I need to achieve the same in Boxplot chart. If the feature already exists, kindly quote on how to achieve the requested behavior.

In the above image, i can click the the outliers. But the marked area (The box structure) is not clickable.

If such a feature doesn't exist, I'm hereby requesting it. Kindly do the needful

Hi mateusz.b,

Thanks for the response.

We checked the git issue.
We would like to have the 'states', implemented for the boxplot chart.

Assuming that 'reopen the ticket' in response response refers to the git issue, it seems to be open already.

Thanks in Advance !
Regards,
Manigandan

Community feedback is very important for us and because of that we prioritize tickets that are frequently commented and popular.
