Birt Pie Chart Series Label

I have a BIRT chart that works fine, but I need to change the series label from "Series 1" to something useful. Everything works great except for this, but I can't find the place to change it.

Edit:

I was able to modify the XML directly and change the <SeriesIdentifier>Series 1</SeriesIdentifier> to <SeriesIdentifier>Amount</SeriesIdentifier> to get it to work. This is OK, but where is the GUI option?

End Edit

GUI to achieve this is here:

enter image description here

Though is some situations this is not sufficient because we need to make it dynamic. In this radar chart example we want to add the selected year after "Sales": this can be achieved through chart scripting. By selecting the chart and clicking on "script" tab we can put a small code fragment such ("Year" is a report parameter):

function beforeDrawLegendItem( lerh, bounds, icsc )
{
    lerh.getLabel().getCaption().setValue("Sales "+getParameterValue("Year"))
}
