What does Numbers Bars - Old have that the newer Numbers Bars study which which was added over 1.5 years ago, does not?

From what is New page:
941 Release Date: 2013-02-01


A new version of the Numbers Bars study has been developed. Its name is Numbers Bars V2 . As we have added to the functionality of the Numbers Bars study and have added Inputs and Subgraphs, it has become somewhat confusing with configuring it and it still did not have all of the flexibility it should. The new Numbers Bars study has a much more logical organization of Inputs which lets you fully configure in an orderly way each Numbers Bar column. It no longer uses any Subgraphs for color and display control.

Months ago when the Numbers Bars-Old study was removed, it still could be used if it was already added to the chart.

1. Yes. But we are not understanding why this is such a significant problem. We are kind of caught offguard here, and we can see that you are too, by the fact that it is causing a significant problem. We thought by now everyone had migrated over to the new Numbers Bars study.

2. Follow the instructions here:

We need to check on the version number and get back to you.

3. The study was no longer being maintained and is undocumented. Sierra Chart is a very large and sophisticated program, and it is important that we remove unnecessary code in order to make it as manageable as possible. It does not make sense to have old code which is considered a clutter.

4. It would make more sense for you to use an older version for now, and when you have the time begin to migrate to the new Numbers Bars study. There is not any logical reason for adding that study back. You can do whatever you need with the standard "Numbers Bars" study. Configuring the new study should not be difficult. We would think that would take only about 10 to 20 minutes.
