Unable to edit object properties on a DataPlotly object in QGIS layout

[jaydeehem]

Hi,
When I create a pie chart in QGIS layout as an item everything works fine (except the small text issue which remains to be solved - #349 ).
But once I've saved the project and when I come back to it later, turns out I can't edit the pie chart anymore ("object properties" in the QGIS layout)

When I click on the object I have this message on the Python console :

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Users/user/AppData/Roaming/QGIS/QGIS3\profiles\default/python/plugins\DataPlotly\gui\layout_item_gui.py", line 265, in createItemWidget

I cannot reproduce the issue, is this error still happening?

Hi Matteo, unfortunately yes. Even after upgrading to v4.5.1. TBH it started to happen after I've tweaked the code trying to fix the font size issue. I did try to reinstalle the plugin after making sure i've wiped the directory, but it didn't help. Still investigating.

did you also try with a clean profile?

Not sure. I will give it a try and I will let you know.
