If you look at the `Help` tab in the sidebar while clicking on the ui-chart node, you will find this:
> See [this information](https://github.com/node-red/node-red-dashboard/blob/master/Charts.md) for how to pre-format data to be passed in as a complete chart.
You might want to follow that link and read what it says

Are you trying to pre-fill a chart or are you just trying to add data to a chart in real time so that it draws the line as new data comes in?

Reduce the amount of data to just three points and show it in a debug node, hover over the `array[1]` line and you should see little buttons appear at the right hand side. Hover over those and one will show Copy Value. Click that and paste the data here, using the `` button when pasting it.
