Enable $lookup for charts

Our team needs to get data from a separate collection to add to a chart. It is possible to add the field to our collection in the aggregation pipeline builder, however $lookup is unavailable for use in Charts.

    The latest update of Charts allows you to add Lookup Fields from the chart builder UI.

    Thanks Andrew. It is actually possible to use $lookup in Charts already, but you need to use this on a Data Source pipeline - it isn't currently supported in the chart builder. However we have plans to support this in the chart builder too.
