Boxplot requires a datetime field

[katemarielewis]

I would like to use the boxplot type of visualization for some data that I have, but it seems like a datetime field is required. Is there a way to allow data that does not have any date or time data to be used?

This is the error that i got:

Datetime column not provided as part table configuration and is required by this type of chart

Still seeing is_timeseries = True for BoxPlotViz class in viz.py on master. Here is the error when time column is not provided:
