[Chartjs]-Tooltip callback cannot recognize metadata (TS 2339)

You can create your own custom interface by extending the one that is already being used and add the custom option you added to your dataset:

import { Chart, TooltipItem  } from 'chart.js';

interface CustomTooltipItem extends TooltipItem<'scatter'> {
  raw: {
    x: number,
    y: number,
    name: string,
  }
}

const ctx = document.getElementById("myChart") as HTMLCanvasElement;
const myChart = new Chart(ctx, {
    type: 'scatter',
    data: {
      datasets: [{
        label: '# of Votes',
        data: [{ x: 1, y: 10, name: 'John' }, { x: 2, y: 5, name: 'Linda' }, { x: 3, y: 7, name: 'Erin' }, { x: 4, y: 4, name: 'Chloe' }, { x: 5, y: 8, name: 'Paul' }],
      }]
    },
    options: {
      plugins: {
        tooltip: {
          callbacks: {
            label: (context: CustomTooltipItem) => {
              return [context.raw.name, `age: ${context.parsed.x} years`, `height change: ${context.parsed.y} in`]
            }
          }
        }
      }
    }
});
