Post From: What is the compelling reason for the spreadsheet studies Version 2?

Recently an option was added to all three spreadsheet study's study settings: 'Use Column I and J Values Version 2 (ln:73)' When this option is set to Yes, all Column I and J cell titles and their functions are rearranged. Some v1 items are eliminated, and new items are added. The v2 rearrangement seems unnecessary and problematic because: 1. New items could simply be added to v1. - Removed items are referenced by existing user formulas. - Converting existing builds from v1 to v2 would be tedious. 2. Support requests would increase. - Support and v1 users will need to transliterate to offer help. - Third party websites and forum post examples will no longer be accurate. 3. Documentation becomes difficult. - Example: Spreadsheet Systems, Alerts and Automated Trading: Special Spreadsheet Outputted Values | Read-Only or Read/Write - The above is in v2 order, not in the legacy v1 order. It seems 'organized in a more logical and updated format' is an insufficient reason by itself, given the downside. https://www.phrases.org.uk/meanings/if-it-aint-broke-dont-fix-it.html |
