Check out how a user can click on a field on a graph and put in a value. Slide 1 of this activity. I swear I knew how to do this at one point but can not remember!!

Are you asking how to obtain editable labels? If so:

consider however that what the user writes in the editable label  
cannot be retrieved from CL (nor in Desmos)

TY. You know, I am pretty sure there was a way to pull the data. Hmm.. Maybe I am remembering wrong.

You can use `this.labelText(““)` or `this.labelLatex("")` to pull data.

OK, I’ve been clicking around my graph in an activity I am building but can not get a point to show the options yours is showing!

It’s a feature that’s internal only, but has snuck out through some activities.

I do have that option in Desmos …

And sorry I think I was confused: you cannot retrieve the label within Desmos … But you can in CL … Is this right @Daniel_Grubbs ?
