Hello SC I have 3 control bars configured, but when I add a chart control bar it takes the config of the control bar set in the "Same as" option set (default is control bar "1"). I want the chart control bar config to be different from any of the control bars I already have, so I select "Same as" control bar 12 which is not configured/used, this then messes up the control bar 1 that was previously set in the "Same as" field of the chart control bar customization page. Either I'm using this feature incorrectly, or there is a bug somewhere. All I'm trying to achieve is to have a chart control bar that is configured differently from any of the 3 control bars that I have already configured. Date Time Of Last Edit: 2025-10-12 14:13:05

To do what you want, the "Same As" option should be set to the actual control bar itself and not to another control bar. For example, if you are modifying Control Bar #3 and want it to just be its own control bar without copying from another one, then set "Same As" to "Control Bar 3". If you have not specifically changed that option for a control bar, then it should default to itself.

Thanks John. I think I figured it out, "Control Bar" and "Chart Control Bar" have the same links. So if one chose "Chart Control Bar #1" they are basically editing/cloning "Control Bar #1", I thought they are two different things and aren't linked. In my case, since I had already Control Bar #1 #2 and #3 already configured, I had to create the Chart Control Bar starting #4 so it won't mess the other 3. |
