Ignore Hierarchical Binding

Default value: On

The Ignore Hierarchical Binding option controls how data points are matched to areas when using Expand all down one level in the hierarchy.

Consider the following dataset with a hierarchy of Category → Sector:

When Ignore Hierarchical Binding is enabled, only the last level of the hierarchy is used to build the data point.
In this example, when expanding the hierarchy to the Sector level, the areas are matched using only the sector values (e.g., 202, 305, 306, etc.).
This means your SVG should contain flat IDs like 202, 305, and so on.

When disabled, the full hierarchical path is used to construct the data point.
This results in IDs like Economy\202, Premium\305, etc.
Your SVG must reflect this hierarchy, meaning nested groups for each category (e.g., Economy group containing 202 and 203, etc.).
