QtCreator error: "legend" does not have members (M17)

[peteispo]

Using ChartView in QtCreator, I want to hide the default legends for the series I add to a chart so that I can display my own custom legend. For example, I have a ChartView with id "chartMilestones", so I put in the QML file

    chartMilestones.legend.visible: false

but QtCreator underlines the word legend in red and displays the error

"legend" does not have members (M17)

The code seems to do what I want when it's run, without complaining, but the Design view doesn't work with this error in the QML. It also appears that I can set the visibility in a JavaScript function without an error.

Is there something I need to add to avoid the error markers?

Hello!
I run into the same thing:

But setting myChartView.legend.visible: falsedoes the trick and the legend gets hidden, the designer cant be used after that.
Did you find it out how to hide the legend without the error message?

Just adding a "me too" for this bug.

I'm also getting a "Non-existent attached object" bug on the line of code that sets the legend's visibility. Perhaps that's related, but that causes an error in the QML compilation...
