When using displaying multiple values for a tick and then activating the display of the values/coordinates, things get messy. This is why I want to display the values inside of the bar. Or on the right of the very bar they belong to, but I can't get it to work, the vertical alignment is always centered to the tick.
One possibility could be to use the nodes...
-options for each \addplot
-command and then align them by above right=XYpt
for the blue bar and below right
vice versa. But that is thrown out the window if I decide to resize the plot a little bit.

Best Answer
You are overriding the style of the nodes so you need
/.append style
insteadModifying only these lines
leads to
