How to edit Highcharts AdvancedJSON in v3.0.0
Question
Reactive
Charts
Application Type
Reactive
Service Studio Version
11.54.16 (Build 62588)

In the now legacy version of the OutsystemsCharts component, there is a HighchartsJSON property which helped make the charts more customizable.

Is there a way to customize the Highcharts JSON in the newer Outsystems Charts 3.0.0?

Ok,

now i remember, i got confused becausein my personal environment I reverted back to old charts library after trying v3.0.0.

i made you a little demo.

it is no longer through a free format json text, but by setting each individual property.

  • give the widget a name
  • handle the initialized event of the widget
  • use the SetHighChartConfigs, it takes a list of value settings, and each settings path needs to be given as a list, you can no longer use dot notation,I tried :-(


see oml,

Dorine

Hi Jon,

there is a link to documentation on that post you are referring to, at the bottom you find this :

so looking at their first suggestion, the client actions, you can find this in the charts module :

Thanks for your response Dorine, aren't those client actions only compatible with the legacy version of OS Charts?

Unless there is some way I can still use these legacy client actions with the new charts? I'm also not seeing a parameter to provide the advanced format.

ooh,

i didn't notice that.

they are referring to the "extensibility client actions" and this was the first i saw.

Let me look a bit closer.
