Dynamic Chart title fails in BIRT 4.3.1, but worked great in 3.7.1

onRender
/**
* Called before generation of chart model to GeneratedChartState.
*
* @param chart
* Chart
* @param icsc
* IChartScriptContext
*/

function beforeGeneration( chart, icsc )
{
var myTitle = chart.getTitle().getLabel().getCaption().getValue();
var title = icsc.getExternalContext().getScriptable().getPersistentGlobalVariable("title")
chart.getTitle().getLabel().getCaption().setValue( BirtDateTime.year(BirtDateTime.today())+ " " + title +" " + myTitle)
}

It appears getPersistentGlobalVariable() is no longer a choice

well it looks like it doesn't like setValue( BirtDateTime.year(BirtDateTime.today())

I tested your code in 4.8 and it works correctly. If possible, try upgrading. If upgrading is not an option, you might be able to work around the issue using the JavaScript date methods.
