Carafe and Soliant are awesome!
This particular chart looks and acts exactly the way I needed for my solution, with one exception; dependent upon the installation, the number of series needed would vary, possibly widely. I set out to discover a variation that would adapt dynamically, without hardcoding of scripts, etc.. I came up with the following and would like to share it with the FM community:
I replaced the individual ‘Column’ spaceholders with the following:
TRADITIONAL METHOD
data: {x: 'x',
columns: [
[__column1__],
[__column2__],
[__column3__]
],
type: '__chartType__',
I REPLACED THE INDIVIDUAL COLUMNS WITH A STRING TO BE SUBSTITUTED AT RUN TIME
data: {x: 'x',
columns: [
[SET_COLUMNS_HERE]
],
I create the data strings in FM and the chart adjusts to the number of series without other required adjustments. My particular strings are the following which show Dates and Districts.
['x','2019-12-1','2019-12-2','2019-12-3','2019-12-4','2019-12-5'],['R5',11,8,17,10,8],
['R4',10,14,13,16,23],
['R3',9,11,6,23,9],
['R2',8,12,13,22,21],
['B2',14,8,4,9,11],
['B5',8,7,12,15,12],
['B3',16,11,20,11,10],
['B4',9,11,14,14,15]
The chart automatically adjusts to the number of columns. I did the same with [SET_CHART_TYPE] and a few other variables.
Thanks again, Soliant (and Jesse)!

Nice job getting your feet wet. To properly take advantage of merge fields, you should define them in your config and use the Bookmark ends. So instead of writing this
columns: [[SET_COLUMNS_HERE]
],
You’d write it like this:
columns: [__columns__],Then when you replace the three data config elements “column1”, “column2”, and “column3” with one named “columns” it will automatically do the substitution for you.
