To make the chart title dynamic based on a report parameter I need to add the following:


/**
 * Called before generation of chart model to GeneratedChartState.
 * 
 * @param chart
 *            Chart
 * @param icsc
 *            IChartScriptContext
 */

function beforeGeneration( chart, icsc )
{
	chart.getTitle().getLabel().getCaption().setValue(
		icsc.getExternalContext().getScriptable().getParameterValue("MyParam"))
	
}

This is too complex, the ChartTitle input field on the designer should allow expressions and that should be passed down to the chart title at runtime.

Reproducible: Always
