> it is about, how can I pass values (array) from payload.series + payload.labels to js script tag (apex chart option section) to achive this:

that is exactly what the 3 examples I gave you do - that pass something from server side (node-red runtime) to the template in the client side (aka dashboard) - you have to determine what to do with the data.

Pick any one of the examples I offered and add `alert(msg)` inside the `watch` and you will see that data is being passed from Node-RED to Dashboard.

If you want a particular example based on apex - forum search reveals some clues
