I have a "Symbol Display Study" on a duplicate chart with custom text added via the "Modify Text" as well as custom text color and background color. When I make a change to my main chart the "Chart Drawing Properties" including "Modify Text" on the duplicate chart switches back to default. See attached image for example of what I'm referring to. I have looked through the Global Settings documentation and tried Google. But I could not find a way to prevent this from reoccurring. How can I prevent the settings on a Duplicate chart from being overwritten whenever I change something on the main chart. I'm new to Sierra Chart so any screenshots is greatly appreciated.

That chart has linking turned on as evidenced by the "L:1" on the title bar.

That chart has linking turned on as evidenced by the "L:1" on the title bar. Yes, the duplicate chart is linked to the main chart, link type "Link Scroll Position". Is the link the culprit? Date Time Of Last Edit: 2026-06-05 03:13:32

The main issue is that you can not use the "Modify Text" option on the "Symbol Display" study, or with any of the studies that draw text like that. They are drawings, but when you use the Modify Text option, that information is not kept as part of the study, so whenever the study redraws (anytime the chart is fully recalculated), then the text that was added is removed. If you want special text with that study, you would need to use the Input for "Alternate Symbol Text".
