CapEx consensus (FY1E/FY2E) showing negative values on charts – missing absolute value?

Hi Koyfin Team,
I've noticed a visual quirk when charting CapEx metrics.
While the historical Capital Expenditure (LTM) correctly plots as a positive number (e.g., +$215B for AMZN), the forward-looking estimates like CAPEX Consensus Average (FY1E) and FY2E are rendering as negative numbers below the zero line (e.g., -$222B for AMZN).
It looks like the frontend chart might be skipping the absolute value transformation for the estimate feeds, since providers usually send cash outflows with a negative sign.
Since CapEx represents spending magnitude, showing it as a downward/negative line can be a bit confusing (making it look like spending is shrinking when it's actually growing).
Could you tweak this so all CapEx metrics (historical and estimates) are consistently plotted as positive absolute values?
I’ve attached a screenshot showing the difference. Thanks for checking this out!
