Turning plot browser legend back on

I'm currently looking at some plot code where one of the plot has set('IconDisplayStyle', off) so that that plot's information woudn't show up on plot browser.

Currently it looks like this below on plot browser

May 1 Plot a2

May 2 Plot b2

May 3 Plot c3

I don't know too much about the code as was written by someone else. But it looks like this was done to make the date annotation correspond to correctly as without set('IconDisplayStyle', off) it skips the end plots with it's dates. Turn off legend entires? - (mathworks.com)

May 1 Plot a1

May 2 Plot a2

May 3 Plot b1

Plot b2

Plot c1

Plot c2

I would like it to display as

May 1 Plot a1

Plot a2

May 2 Plot b1

Plot b2

May 3 Plot c1

Plot c2

Or as

May 1 Plot a1

May 1 Plot a2

May 2 Plot b1

May 2 Plot b2

May 3 Plot c1

May 3 Plot c2

I wanted to get some ideas on how to do this.

@Emily - can you attach a snapshot of what the figure looks like now? Could you also include the code on how the legend is shown?

Sorry for the late reply.

This is a simplified version of what the plot browser view looks like when icondisplay style is off.

I wasn't able to recreate the legends from this plot but hopefully it gives a clue on what it looks like.

I'm trying to get the dates to show up twice like below.

The code to the legend looks as below

legend(datestr(stored_time, 'mmm dd yyyy'),'location','northeast');

Currently I was able to partially solve this by having the legend input rewrite itself via

stored_time=[time(1), time(1), time(2), time(2)]

But is there a way to do this via loop?

@Emily - can you show the code that was written that adds the legend to the plot? Or create a small working example that demonstrates the incorrect behaviour?
