To set the tags in the Easy Chart back to their default value, you can simply reassign the tagPens property in a script. That means you’ll need to define the tagPens dataset with the expected format. Take a look at [this] ([Can't set pen attributes for Easy Chart template](http://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/cant-set-pen-attributes-for-easy-chart-template/17063?u=bfuson)) post where another user is setting tag pens via scripting.  
You can do something similar to the Date Range component by setting the startDate and endDate properties in a script.
