Time axis feature is broken i view mode (works in edit mode)
When you have a report where you want to show time on x-axis and show values with missing values, you can use the result calculation "time axis" as per https://support.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/4408885694106-How-can-I-include-0-values-in-reports-
This works while previewing a report in edit mode - but it's broken in beta dashboard view mode.
Example
As you can see - when I switch to view mode (the default for report consumers), the values in x-axis doesn't suddently hide.
Use case
Putting two reports next to each other with the same date range is extremely useful to when the reports are related, and especially when the x-axis if for different attributes (e.g. ticket created vs assigned). However the comparisons breaks when a report viewer cannot compare columns between the reports, because some dates have 0 values and the "time axis" feature doesn't work.

Reproduce
Create a report with date as x-axis that has some 0 values. Turn on the "time axis" feature.
Try to view the report in beta dashboard builder in view and edit mode.
It won't work in edit mode.

Actually the axis feature do work - the root cause is a separate bug where the report is not updated in view mode if you use the More option to refine the reported once inserted into a dashboard.
My workaround is to first remove the offending report that is not updated in view mode, then add it again. This seems to force the report to also be updated in view mode.
