 Bugfixes
 -----------
 * Do not fail asset page if entity addresses cannot be built [see `PR #457 <http://www.github.com/FlexMeasures/flexmeasures/pull/457>`_]
+* Asynchronous reloading of a chart's dataset relies on that chart already having been embedded [see `PR #472 <http://www.github.com/FlexMeasures/flexmeasures/pull/472>`_]
 * Time scale axes in sensor data charts now match the requested date range, rather than stopping at the edge of the available data [see `PR #449 <http://www.github.com/FlexMeasures/flexmeasures/pull/449>`_]
 * The docker-based tutorial now works with UI on all platforms (port 5000 did not expose on MacOS) [see `PR #465 <http://www.github.com/FlexMeasures/flexmeasures/pull/465>`_]
 * Fix interpretation of scheduling results in toy tutorial [see `PR #466 <http://www.github.com/FlexMeasures/flexmeasures/pull/466>`_]
