Remove 'Editing' Worry From 'Custom Charts' - view-samples/custom-charts

Very tiny suggestion, and you can close this off as soon as it is seen, I'm sure ... but could the concern about data integrity for custom charts and their inherent 'editability' be waylaid by sending a PATCH request with the following settings to make it read only?
URI:

https://YOUR_DOMAIN.sharepoint.com/_api/web/lists/GetById(guid'YOUR_LIST_ID')/Views/GetById(guid'YOUR_LIST_VIEW_ID')

Method:

PATCH

Header:

{
    "Content-Type": "application/json;odata=nometadata",
    "Accept": "application/json;odata=nometadata"
}

Body:

{
  "ReadOnlyView": true
}

( I performed my tests in Power Automate, hence the generous header setup allowing minimal fuss )

Obviously I could be way off, maybe you need the 'edit' ability in order for them to work ... but it's just a thought.

Hello @influential-eliot

Thanks for your very interesting contribution! I will take it into consideration for sure and will perform a test with Power Automate.

You can find me in LinkedIn too, so we can keep in touch.

Thanks again and see you soon!
