Sierra Chart Engineering,
Found a crashing issue.

Sierra Chart v2947

Goal:
Change studies 1,2,3 to 41,42,43 to save them as a new Study Collection

Repro:
A contrived scenario using inbox studies similar to my actual use case.


Start with attached chartbook.
F6 - Analysis >> Studies
Open study 1, MACD, change ID from 1 to 41
OK
Open study 2, CBBOAC, change ID from 2 to 42
On Alerts tab, change formula
...from: AND(ID1.SG1>ID1.SG2,ID1.SG1[-1]<ID1.SG2[0])
...to: AND(ID41.SG1>ID41.SG2,ID41.SG1[-1]<ID41.SG2[0])
OK
Open study 3, Subgraph Reference from 3 to 43
Click "Study Subgraph to Reference" so you can change ID2.SG1 to ID42.SG1.
When you click it, the editor pops up
Select the now Study ID 42 from the list
The SG field is blank and trying to Select it crashes Sierra.

Work around:
After each change ID step, hit OK, exit the studies dialog.
(and I hit "save" chartbook as a precaution/test)
Reopen with F6 and change the next study/ID, OK, save, repeat

Now you can save your study collection with IDs 41-43 so that when applied to an existing chart, the IDs will (probably) not conflict with existing study IDs and the formulas will work as expected.

This will be resolved in the next release but it is necessary to press the Apply button on the Chart Studies window before making any changes to the individual Study Settings Inputs. Otherwise, Inputs that involve references to other studies will not work.
