I have a time series chart in perspective that I'm binding data to using a query. I'm stuck on how I get the data to populate the chart. I have tried creating a custom property and got errors, and when I bind to 'props/series/data' I get a configuration error. I have attached a picture showing that I have the data binding with a query and the page I'm trying to update, and would greatly appreciate any advice on how I get this data dynamically based on the time range selected and populate the time series chart.

I see you are binding your data directly to **TimeSeriesChart.props.series**.

The **series** prop is an array of series entries and expects each entry to have a name and data array:

Try binding your data to **TimeSeriesChart.props.series[0].data** instead and see how that goes.
