Editing Highcharts after Initial Save #144

Closed rohanabraham closed 6 years ago

rohanabraham commented 7 years ago

The Highcharts Editor works well. We are able to create a chart, setup the data and get things working. Once completed, the

var jsonData = JSON.stringify(gChart.toProject()); //This exports the chart and we get a copy of the data.

After this is complete, the user can come back and edit a chart, at this point. The data gets loaded back into the chart and the settings go back into the Editor all correctly.

gChart.loadProject(JSON.parse( saved_JSON_object )); //This loads all the chart settings

But the data is missing from the "Data" tab and the "Import" tab. Is there a way to load the data into the project.

Steps to recreate 1) Go to High Charts Editor http://editor.highcharts.com/full.html 2) Use sample data and create a chart 3) Click on "Save Project" to get the JSON file 4) Reload the page 5) Click on "Load Project" and use the same JSON file

Expected: Chart loaded, Customisation active and CSV data visible

Actual: Chart Loaded - OK, Customisation active - OK, CSV data - Not visible

This is also a problem if the Data tab is activated, we don't get the data. What is the best approach to also load the CSV data text area with the original data?

If you build your own distribution (clone the repository and run npm install && gulp complete to get a bundle in dist/) the issue with data persistence should be fixed, and the grid should be populated as expected when loading projects.

This is fixed in the latest release.
