Ignition 8.0.0 seems to be buggy when the XY Chart has its Tag History date range changed rapidly / often. The Table component does not suffer this problem.

Is it possible to have the XY Chart bind to the …/Table.props.data and use that instead of another Historian binding? When I try it I get the Perspective Property Editor warning

`dataSources.example: string found, array, dataset expected.`

As a matter of interest, if this idea worked would this decrease server load because the dataset only has to be generated once?

Update:  
I’ve set the table data binding to return the history in _Document_ format.  
In Designer I can examine the data under _dataSources/example/0_, etc. and it all looks fine.
