Second Y-axis not showing tickmarks

I have a chart with 3 y-axes which displays the data as expected, but the right-hand axis shows only the title, with no tickmarks. How do I make tickmarks visible?

Welcome to the joys of non-standard charting !!

Tickmarks are part of axisLabelY2, which you've defined, but not added as a label object in charting.layout.axisLabels

You've done the right thing for the extra axisTitleY2 here :

<param name="charting.layout.axisTitles">[@axisTitleX,@axisTitleY,@axisTitleY2]</param>

You need to do the same for axisLabels

<param name="charting.axisLabelsY2.placement">right</param>
<param name="charting.layout.axisLabels">[@axisLabelsX,@axisLabelsY,@axisLabelsY2]</param>

unless you explicitly define the axisLabels, it'll use the default, which is just X and Y (not Y2)

Also, you need to move the labels to the right (1st line)
