Link Title

Check the box next to Link Title to link the legend title to the graph title. The title appears above the legend and matches the title of the selected graph in the Object Manager. As long as the box remains checked, the name of the legend item automatically updates whenever the graph title is changed. This option is not available for a multi-graph legend.
