PROBLEM
Graph item with DateTimeScale and one category slot displays only the first date of the year.

SOLUTION 

The DateTime scale is designed to work with a date range and it needs at least two dates in order to determine the minimum and maximum range values, and then - the used BaseUnit. When the data doesn't supply such range, the algorithm sets the BaseUnit to Years and falls back to the first date of the current year. That's why you will get a date like 2016-01-01, if you change the BaseUnit to Auto.

The solution is to set the Minimum and Maximum of the scale dynamically using Bindings and the approach from How to: Use Bindings to Control the Coordinate System Properties.
