I am a beginner in Highcharts and I am trying to achieve what has been explained in the following case using the Highcharts Editor:
Highcharts Line Chart, display series name at the end of line series
I don't know if the same can be achieved by just using the Editor's interface but if custom code needs to be used, I can do that in the Custom Code tab of the Editor.
I tried inputting in the Custom Code section of the Highcharts Editor the code written by jlbriggs but nothing happens.
Is it possible to get a basic explanation on how to achieve what I want? Below is the HTML code I took from the graph I created in Highcharts Editor.

I just need the names of each series to be displayed at the end of each line rather than in the legend.
