If would be very valuable to be able to create a Charts with timeseries AND calculations via the API. This is relevant when you want to create a large number of charts with calculations, like monitoring all instances of an equipment type, or creating a Charts on-the-fly based on an situation that is detected.

Today you can build up a URL where you specify the timeseries and the time range, and when you open the URL you can create a new Charts or add the timeseries to an existing Charts. But I do not see any way of adding a calculation via the API.

Also, I cannot find a way of fully create the Charts via the API (I have to open the URL and the select new or add to existing). This prevents us from automatically adding it to a Canvas (Canvas can be fully created via the API)

Hey ​@Gunnar Andreas thanks again for the great feedback ! This is a known limitation today and is something that is being considered for the future scaling potential of Charts. We are exploring options on scaling charts through either incorporating template like behaviour or through a API approach. However this is more for the future and will have a more concrete timeline on this in the coming months as our current priority is to make the charts experience stable and more user friendly for our current users.
