I was able to get this working (after requesting some help form the Dev who implemented the chart). Here are the important pieces for setting up a "standard" candlestick chart:

#### Underlying data:

The object for each data entry will need to supply five pieces of data: date, high, low, open, close. Going forward in my example, we will use those five values as keys.

#### Axes:

I have only one entry for `xAxes` and one entry for `yAxes`. My `xAxes` entry is named "dateAxis", and my `yAxes` entry is named "valuation".

#### Series:

With those aforementioned settings in place, the following configuration displayed a candlestick chart.

- Note that `series.data.y` is set to close, and that there is no `candlestick.close` property. I have no idea why it was implemented this way, but I _suspect_ it was because the underlying library probably requires a `y` value be supplied, and so in some way it made sense to default to that y value for the close. 🤷‍♂️

#### Known issue:

We are aware of [this issue](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/bug-perspective-xy-chart-candlestick-low-value-not-rendering-correctly/48676) reported recently in regard to the "low" value always appearing to be `0`.
