Post From: Draw Anchored VWAP loses anchor handle after loading a Study Collection

Hi,
I am having an issue with the Draw Anchored VWAP tool.

When I first place an Anchored VWAP on the chart, everything works correctly:
* The small square anchor handle is visible.
* I can drag the anchor left or right very easily.
* The Anchored VWAP also appears in Tools > Manage Chart Drawings Window.

The problem starts after I save/load a Study Collection.
After loading the Study Collection:
* The VWAP lines are still visible.
* The VWAP study still exists in Analysis > Studies.
* I can still manually change the Start Date-Time from the study settings.
* However, the Anchored VWAP no longer appears in Manage Chart Drawings Window.
* The small square anchor handle disappears.
* Left/right mouse interaction with the anchor no longer works.
* Therefore I lose the very useful ability to quickly drag the VWAP anchor left or right on the chart.

I tested several things:
* Support Left Click To Select Chart Drawings = Yes
* Square Drawing Anchors = Yes
* Enable Drawn Volume Profile Selection = Yes
* Saving the VWAP as a single Study Collection
* Saving it as part of a multi-study collection
* Loading collections while trying to preserve existing studies
* Creating a separate VWAP Study Collection for the Draw Anchored VWAP tool

None of these preserve the Anchored VWAP drawing object after the Study Collection is loaded.
! The important point is that the VWAP study remains, but the Anchored VWAP drawing/anchor object is removed.
? Is there a supported way to keep the Anchored VWAP drawing object and its draggable square anchor when loading Study Collections?
? If not, could this be considered for a fix or enhancement? The draggable anchor is much more practical than manually editing the Start Date-Time in Study Settings every time.

I am currently using Sierra Chart version 2952. Thank you.
