Thanks for the "help". 

Placing a text box on the diagram like a post-it sticker is a quite poor workaround, even if this is doing the job more or less. 

From a commercial software tool I expect better performance. 

In which unknown future will such a label parametrisation be available?

Fully agreed on. The chart component as a whole is a very poor integrated stopgap solution for a better equipped native plot solution.

From time to time insiders here post PTC's plans for improvements in upcoming versions, but while I remember that some improvements (not sure which) for the native plots are in the queue, I can't remember having read anything about label parametrisation. That would certainly be a very welcome thing, though.

The whole API needs to be exposed for the plotting component.  In M15, you could get at quite a lot of 3D plot attributes through the components script, including, ISTR, the Title. It's standard in many of the other big "M" applications.  So, I expect no less from the Mathcad Prime nn upgraded plot component.

Could you be more specific concerning "nn"?

Guess that there may be big differences between the ‘nn’ expected in a maths software, the ‘nn’ hoped for and the ‘nn’ realistically expected in Prime.

All I can say with any certainty is that n is an integer of some kind, maybe, but it may very well be multiplied by 1i for n>m where m may also be a number,.  The other n is sort of similar, sharing the same name but not necessarily the same value.
