Anybody else have issue with XY chart since 8.1.4 I don’t know what the issue is exactly, but when I have an XY chart with a binding with a script for the moment, the chart sometimes display “Component Error” with the detail “Cannot read property ‘dataFields’ of undefined”. Most of the time, F5 fix the issue, but it’s annoying ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/3/0/3018c2b552a9fe1ce329207d78a1c1b4c8c8abe0.png) ---

I narrowed down the problem and think I have a working solution. The error is being generated by something inside the series property settings. I changed my script to delete all series entries except the first one (so I don’t get a ‘No series configured’ error). I then build the rest of series json after I have updated all the datasources, and this seems to get rid of the ‘dataFields’ undefined’ error. ``` barChart.props.series = self.buildBarChartCountSeries() #Build the first datasource series barChart.props.dataSources.distribution_data = popDataList barChart.props.dataSources.count_data = barDataList barChart.props.dataSources.lcl_data = lcl_data barChart.props.dataSources.ucl_data = ucl_data barChart.props.dataSources.mean_data = mean_data barChart.props.dataSources.tgt_data = tgt_data barChart.props.dataSources.sigma_1n_data = sigma_1n_data barChart.props.dataSources.sigma_2n_data = sigma_2n_data barChart.props.dataSources.sigma_3n_data = sigma_3n_data barChart.props.dataSources.sigma_1p_data = sigma_1p_data barChart.props.dataSources.sigma_2p_data = sigma_2p_data barChart.props.dataSources.sigma_3p_data = sigma_3p_data barChart.props.xAxes[0].value.range.max = maxRange barChart.props.xAxes[0].value.range.min = minRange barChart.props.xAxes[1].value.range.max = maxRange barChart.props.xAxes[1].value.range.min = minRange barChart.props.series = barChart.props.series + self.buildBarChartSeries() #Build other datasource series ``` It seems like a kluge, but has got rid of the dataFields error I was seeing before. ---

So I created a custom value, and used a binding with a transform script that replicate @jasoncoope behavior for my case. It dit improve, but what I found is, apparently, if the initial dataset contains “null” values, even in column that are not displayed, and that dataset is later updated with a dataset that does not contains “null” value, as the chart is crashed, it won’t recover ---

I’ve found that “pushing” the data to the dataSources property of the XY Chart seems to help. That is, instead of putting a binding on the dataSources property that “pulls” the data in, I created a custom property that has a transform script to create the data and data structure, and then as a last step of the script does something like: self.getChild(“XYChart”).props.dataSources.myData = myData It’s a work around for sure, but seems to help with the spurious component errors.

I am on 8.1.0 Just started to get this error on a time series chart. I changed the name of a column just before I started to get the error. I think I changed the column name, query name, applied asc and desc to the order by section, changed my order by clause I will try remaking it. Did you just update or did you find a solution? edit I reset my query, restarted designer, “fixed it” edit broke it again, I think my error is tied to my order by clause I also have to restart my designer. So now my time series charts have one query, while my tables I display use another query. ---

Although this post mentions XY Charts, I would add that I see the same issue with Time Series Chart. This helped a bit: > [@ShaneH](#): > > self.getChild(“XYChart”).props.dataSources.myData = myData "Pushing" data that way doesn't give a component error but it still doesn't work.

Just came across this issue myself as we are still working in 8.1.7, embedding it and passing the parameters that way seemed to do the trick for me, obviously the easier workaround is updating but if you’re stuck in a specific version like me this will hopefully help.
