Give Charts the ability to read text mode

I changed a column from Manager ID to Manager Name. I set up a Prompt for Manager Name. I have a Grouping for Manager Name. On the Chart page, I selected Manager Name for my Y Axis. But when I run the report, the Y Axis shows "No Value" as the only option. What I was told is that Charts do not have the ability of registering text mode, and the workaround would be to use a custom field.

If I can create a field, I should be able to utilize it. So Charts need to be able to read what I've created on the report.

I also had a similar issue. I changed the role ID to role name, and it shows up in the report, but doesn't carry over to the chart. In the chart, I see a long string of letters and numbers instead of the role ID name. Screenshot attached.

It would be great if the "Summary" tab could respect the text mode grouping as well. I recently created a report and realized that the text mode grouping shows up fine in the "Details" tab. In the "Summary" tab the information is not carried over for the custom text mode grouping.
