Issues with setting the symbol session times

Hi!
I changed the session times in Global Settings → Symbol Settings to avoid having to manually re-enter the session times for all my charts.
However, even after changing the settings in Symbol Settings, when I open a new chart the session times do not match the ones I configured

This should work. Here are the things to check:
- On the Symbol Settings window is the option for "Use Custom Symbol Settings Values" enabled (is there a checkmark next to this option)? Refer to the following:
Global Symbol Settings: Use Custom Symbol Settings Values (Global Settings >> Symbol Settings)

- When you modified the Session Times for a particular symbol, did you enter the times relative to the "Time Zone" that is set in the Symbol Settings? That Time Zone setting is only there to establish the time zone for the Session Times that are entered. Refer to the following:
Global Symbol Settings: Time Zone

What is your Global Time Zone set to (Global Settings >> Time Zone)?
