What problem does this address?

When users create a chart, they can choose between a simple editor and a text editor for making changes. However, if they start editing with the simple editor and then switch to the text editor to make further changes, they find that the changes made with the simple editor are not reflected. This is because each editor modifies its own separate copy of the data, rather than the same instance.
This feature request is related to the problem of data inconsistency when switching between different editors. Users face the inconvenience of losing their previous changes if they switch from one editor to another, which can lead to confusion and extra work.

What is your proposed solution?

A proposed solution could be to change the behaviour of the editors so that they both edit the same instance of the data. This means that any changes made in one editor will be immediately reflected in the other.

Will this feature require documentation? (Optional)

No.

I find this not perfect but not that bad, you don't lose your changes, if you open the same editor all the changes are there.
Also, this only happens if you edit something, DON'T SAVE the chart and go to with a different data editor, if you save the changes (save chart) and re-open it again, changes are synced between both editors.
