Hello all, is there a way to change the default line style of a pen that gets dragged onto a chart (in runtime)? I can sort of make it work with system.dataset.setValue, but it’s pretty clunky and I’m sure there’s a better way!  
I am using the Adhoc trend template, and I want the line style to default to “line” instead of “line with gaps”

Thanks!
