Post From: Using Custom Calculated Symbol new setting

I am using the new Custom Calculated Symbol setting to create a custom spread. The spread is between a future and a calendar spread. For example, long 1 lot of CL Dec19 and short 2 lots of Jan20/21 calendar spread. I am connected to IB trading service. I am using IB contract code for Dec19 future and SC exchange data for Jan20/21 calendar spread. I have followed instructions below:
Custom Calculated Symbols

My symbol turns out like this [1][*]{CL-201912-NYMEX][-][2][*]{CLZ20-CLZ21.FUT_SPREAD.NYMEX}

Price format, tick size and ccy value per tick have been changed. I have tried loads of category settings. Uses formula operators set to yes. When I click find symbol, you say I will see it listed in the specified category but I do not see it. I have tried multiple categories. What am I doing wrong?

Thank you
