Dear All

Acc. to the documenatation on the Dashboard 2.0 website it should be possible to change all properties of the chart with msg.ui\_update. So, ithought it should also be possible to change the chart title dynamically, but it doesn`t work. I have tried a lot of things, no positive result. ChatGPT said, that this is not possible though it`s written on the website. Does anybody know whether this is possible or not, and if Yes, what`s the code, please.

Thank you.  
Greeting  
Chris

Can you post a simple example showing your attempt to do this please. Just a chart and an inject node (or inject + change or function node, whatever you prefer). Then I can see whether this is a bug or not.

[Edit] Looking at the [echarts docs](https://echarts.apache.org/en/option.html#title) you should have in msg.ui\_update

```auto
{
  chartOptions: {
    title: {
            text: "the title"
    }
  }
}

```

Hello

Here a simple example. These nodes are part of much more larger project.

What do you see?  
Which version of the dashboard are you using (check in Manage Palette)?

[Edit] In future please, when posting a flow, see this post for how to post it - [How to share code or flow json](https://discourse.nodered.org/t/how-to-share-code-or-flow-json/506)

Hi Colin

Sorry for the late respond, but in the past weeks I was not working on my project. I updated dashboard 2.0 and you`re right, now it works.

Thanks a lot.
