I would like to have a plotline at today's date. The list can get quite long and in that case it helps with having an oversight. I fear it doesn't work because it is a scatter chart but I don't know what the problem is. I've searched all over the place but everything leads to plotlines, which clearly doesn't work. I would also be thankful if anyone knew, whether there was an easy way to filter my data the way I have it (standard highcharts filtering is deactivated but doesn't really help because of the static y values, so I get a huge, white space in the middle unless I filter at the edges. Thank you in advance for your help.
