Changing dimensions and expression from within Javascript

comunico — Mon, 26 Jan 2026 16:26:21 GMT

Hi All,

I'd like to change the values of dimensions and expressions (set in the extension object properties) from the script.js: is it possible? How?

Many thanks

you can use:

this.Layout.SetProperty('Chart.Dimension.0.Field', newDimension);

however note that it will work only in webview and not when your document is hosted on a server

Hi Luca,

Have you tried to remove a dimension or expression via Javascript?

Have a nice day,

Mattia

As far as I know there is no way to do that programmatically, the only way is to go through the property panel after having defined your dimensions or expressions numbers as variable (don't remember how to do that though...).
