Highcharts with datetime and also additional data (tooltip text)

Question

I found info how to add tooltip with additional data. I found info how to plot a line with date format on x-axis. Only problem I need a combination of this.

Set Additional Data to highcharts series

data: [ { y : 3, myData : 'firstPoint' },
        { y : 7, myData : 'secondPoint' },

http://api.highcharts.com/highcharts#series

I tried this:

data: [[Date.UTC(2012, 9, 29) , 45, 'my note' ],[Date.UTC(2012, 9, 29) , 54, 'boe' ]

But unfortunately not working.

Your custom data needs to be an Object and not array
What you have used is an array

data: [[Date.UTC(2012, 9, 29) , 45, 'my note' ],[Date.UTC(2012, 9, 29) , 54, 'boe' ]]

Use an object instead

data:[{
 x: Date.UTC(2012, 9, 29) , 
 y: 45, 
 myData: 'my note' 
},
{
 x: Date.UTC(2012, 9, 29) , 
 y: 54, 
 myData: 'boe' 
}]
