Hello,

I have a project where I got an easy chart, where the start and end date is bound to a easy chart bar, with the time setting.

However, when I am using this, I am not able to zoom in on the x-axis, as the date is bound. It just goes back into the time setting configured at the easy chart bar.

My question is, is there a way to send the new start and end date, from the zoomed setting, towards the easy chart bar?  
I hope you can help.

You’ll want to remove the binding. Instead, use a timer component’s script to update the date, but only when not zoomed.

Maybe do a property change script on `startDate` and `endDate`. If those properties change then send the values to the chart, otherwise you don’t.
