Is there a way how the time display can be modified on the new ui-chart. Like change the time format to have short date & time (now only two digit AM/PM format ). Do you do it somehow via CSS styling or ?

Nothing to do with CSS. It is chart config thing but not yet available to adjust. Must wait a bit. It will be available, too early to say how much or which way but it's coming for sure.

Yeah, ability to modify how timestamps are rendered is coming up enough for me to pay attention 😃 haven't quite worked out how to allow configuration of this just yet, but it's on the list.

It would be cool if there is a `ui-chart` property where one can put a custom `chart.js` config that will get somehow merged with whatever `ui-chart` comes up with so that you open up advanced configuration options without necessarily adding a node-red properties for every possible combination of options. Chart JS is so powerful that it probably does not make sense to expose every possible option to Node RED.
