We use XY charts frequently for pareto charts. We use the push method of supplying data so we no longer have the issue of data not showing up.

However I am still seeing this type of behavior especially on first load up:

If I simply click F5 to refresh the browser, everything goes to normal

What can we do about this?

Thanks,

Nick

We have a similar problem:

_When opening the view:_

_After refresh or after waiting a while (perhaps when the data is updated?):_

We use Query binding as data source. When we visualize the data in a table the data is correct.

We are currently using Ignition 8.1.11 but we had the same problem in previuos versions.

I see the same problem on 8.1.12, a new data point can fix this or refreshing the webpage. Tried a query as a datasource, and then created a custom datasource for the view and still get the error.

We are using 8.1.17 now and I still see this same issue. We do not bind to the data sources, rather write to it like this:

```auto
	self.getChild("root").getChild("Data").getChild("Charts").getChild("ErrorPareto").\
		getChild("pareto").props.dataSources.pareto = pareto

```

I don’t remember where but this was suggested to be a way to reduce issues however we still get funky stuff like this happening:

I brought up this issue here: [XY Chart Not Updating with New Data](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/xy-chart-not-updating-with-new-data/59165)

Haven’t heard anything since then.

@Joe_Kelly yeah, it seems like an issue that has been remaining for sometime.

I did submit a helpdesk ticket today since it wasn’t getting traction on the forum (its a relatively minor issue).

If I hear anything from that I would update this thread (or maybe IA will)?

Cheers,

Nick

I want to bring this item back to the top. We are using 8.1.19 now and I still see the same behavior.
