Issue
It is not possible to add an annotation directly on a trendline. No menu option show for adding an annotation when you right click on a trendline.

Environment
- Tableau Desktop
Resolution
Possible Workaround:1. Click on the other area of the view and add an annotation first.
2. Drag the tail of annotation arrow manually and place it at the position you would like to add annotate on.
※For more detailed steps, please refer to attached video "AddingAnnotationExample.mp4"
※The annotation made above is static on the view. When data/view changes (for example filtering out some months), the annotation will not change dynamically with the view and it needs to be manually adjusted.
