I normally draw several horizontal lines on my charts using the Horizontal Line Drawing tool. However, i wanted to create an alert for when certain candle patterns occur around this Horizontal lines, the only way I am aware that this can be done is by drawing these lines using the Horizontal line study. Now, my issue is that I draw numerous lines on my chart and sometimes need to quickly adjust the lines on the chart as they are based on levels from different Timeframes.

My question is: Is there a way I can manually adjust these lines on my chart that were placed using the Horizontal line study by simply dragging it around on the chart??? (u know the same way i can drag the lines around if done with the horizontal line drawing tool) rather than having to go into to the study settings as it is a hassle & time consuming having to manually change the price for each line in order to adjust the lines on the chart

No this is not supported but you can set alerts on the Horizontal Line drawings:
Chart Drawing Tools: Chart Drawing Alerts

You could also use the Spreadsheet Study:
Overview of Spreadsheet Studies

And then edit the values in Sheet Cells.
