I think this is saying that when editing an existing chart, the wizard should be used with the values pre-filled. After r1287514 (T425610), the chart definition JSON is passed to the ChartWizard component, and we set the refs in the store for each field (which currently is only the source dataset field).

So basically, I think this would get taken care of as we add each new field, as opposed to being done in a standalone task.
