document demonstrating missing functionality for donut charts

1.  Create donut chart to display more than one data series.  See demonstration document.  Each row is labeled as  'A', 'B', or 'C'.  Would like to display each series value with the corresponding donut.
2.  Add data labels.
3.  No option to display names of each series of data in data labels, or to switch legend to name of series.  The only options are number, percent, or category names (not series names).

EXPECTED RESULT:  There should be some way to display the names of each series on the chart.  That could be in the legend, or in the data labels.

ACTUAL RESULT:  There is no way to display the names of each data series on the chart.

There is no workaround that I am aware of.

Even though the chart type in the linked bug is column (and here it is donut), if the chart in the linked bug is converted to the donut type, the same problem is evident. It has never been possible to display series labels (only category labels), hence the enhancement.
