Hi, I’d like to create a few custom text‑drawing buttons in the control bar, and I want each of them to use a different preset (different text). However, all I can see are the same CDT1, CDT2, etc. How can I set different saved presets? Thank you

The general instructions to create different control bar buttons to select a tool and a configuration are here:
Chart Drawing Tools: Creating Control Bar Buttons which Select Drawing Tool and Drawing Tool Configuration in One Step

The Text drawings have a configuration entry for "Default Text". Fill this in with the text you want and save the configuration. Then change and save the configuration as needed.
