Data view datasource from outside of dmx

Okay, the answer lies in this:

Using App Connect with JavaScript Functions

You can get the component instance from the DOM element and set the data there directly. document.getElementById("var_test_102055").dmxComponent.set("value", "newValue"); Your option 2 with setting the value using jQuery and then triggering the change event will work if you use a hidden form input to store the value, it doesn’t work on the variable component.

where Patrick shows how to set a dmx var from js:

document.getElementById("var_test_102055").dmxComponent.set("value", "newValue");

In the case of a data-view component it becomes:

document.getElementById("YOUR-DATA-VIEW-ID").dmxComponent.setData(YOUR-ARRAY));
