Date formatting issue with Visual API v2.1
Hi v-viig
The reason formatting was not working for date time is because I have to pass date time object while formatting date time and not date time string. Strange thing is that with API v1.13.0 I was passing date time string and it was working fine but with API v2.1 I had to pass date time object.
I found this solution by looking at the source code of LineDotChart in visual.ts file @line 166.
