How can one dynamically set field property for Line Chart

[Naima]

I am trying to get my Line Chart to dynamically assert the field text rather than having to explicitly put the field in my remote datasource objects and then state that property as the field in the Line chart series.  

so instead of doing it like 

data = [

{Date: 09/10/2020, English: 88, Math: 99, Science: 45},

{Date: 08/22/2020, English: 76, Math: 90, Science: 95},

{Date: 08/01/2020, English: 70, Math: 80, Science: 75}

]

and LineSeries = [

     {
        field: "English",
        categoryField: "date",
        name: "English",
    },
    {
          field: "Math",
          categoryField: "date",
          name: "Math",
    },
    {
          field: "Science",
          categoryField: "date",
          name: "Science",
     }

]

like in the Line Chart its done in the JQuery Line Chart example to get a seperate line for each subject and a data point for each distinct date. 

Is it possible to instead do

data = [

{Date: 09/10/2020, Subject: "Math", Value: "78" },

{Date: 09/10/2020, Subject: "English", Value: "80" },

{Date: 09/10/2020, Subject: "Science", Value: "65" }

{Date: 08/22/2020, Subject: "Math", Value: "87"},

{Date: 08/22/2020, Subject: "English", Value: "97"},

{Date: 08/22/2020, Subject: "Science", Value: "57"},

]

and something like LineSeries = [ {
        field: "Subject",
        categoryField: "date",
        name: "Subject",
    },
] ? if not is there a seperate way to configure the series to get a seperate line for each subject and a data point for each distinct date?

Hello Naima,

This can be achieved by grouping the data by "Subject" and dynamically passing the group value to the name of the series:

          $("#chart").kendoChart({
            dataSource: {
              data: data,
              group: {
                field: "Subject"
              },
              schema: {
                model: {
                  fields: {
                    Date: {
                      type: "date"
                    }
                  }
                }
              }
            },
            title: {
              text: "Internet Users in United States"
            },
            series: [
              {
                field: "Value",
                categoryField: "Date",
                name: "#= group.value #"
              }
            ]
          });
