For a project we have simulated timeseries data between two dates that is input over time. The way we are getting the data to display is by manually setting the start date and end date, however this means the chart is mostly white space until the data is done being entered. Is there anyway to have the date range expand as the data is being entered to avoid having the white space? ---
