Being able to 'zero out' graphing for behavior reduction targets

For behavior reduction targets/programs, I cannot currently locate an option to have the graph display zeros for the days in which no occurrences were recorded. This is incredibly important to show that over time, we have reduced a behavior and maintained at zero levels. I thought this used to be an option, but I only see it as an option for duration programs to 'fill zero-duration data' and this should be an option for frequency/rate graphs as well.

Hello! Thank you for submitting this feature request! This process is a bit different since our most recent program update. I will attach the rationale, change and steps to ensure you are still able to see zero occurrences on your graphs. :)
The existing Count metric represents successful observations. In this context, that means when no instances are observed during a session (a count of 0), the data point is not plotted because there was no “successful” observation to record.
The new 'Learning Opps Count' (y axis option), by contrast, captures all occurrences within a session, including sessions with zero responses. This provides a more complete and accurate view for frequency-based targets, since every session day is represented even when the behavior does not occur.
To ensure accurate graphing, be sure to:
- Set your Y-axis to Learning Opps Count
- Enable the checkbox to sync the session timer with the session on the Frequency program type data recording page

Gwenyth Easter, BCBA thank you so much! I do not see an option to set the y-axis to learning opps counted within the graph settings. My HiRasmus apps are all up to date as I just checked to make sure this isn't the issue.
I totally understand why the point wouldn't be plotted at zero if the current count metric is representing 'successful' observations. This however, misses the graphing and analysis necessary for behavior reduction targets, which we overall want to reduce to zero levels across certain periods of time.
