Vertical grid on future bars

Currently the vertical grid is drawn even on future bars. When there is a relatively large right side fill space (that holds a profile, for example), it is distracting to see so many bars there. For example, in this chart, I have a line drawn at every week. Because it is a variable time per bar chart, there are four bars drawn after the current time period, representing four future weeks. These are unnecessary and detract from what is really important--namely, the bars that are already on the chart and the weekly lines, and also the profile that is on this chart. Is there a good reason to have vertical lines drawn in the fill space for time periods which do not yet exist?

Some people definitely do want to see these. Anyway, we have a huge backlog of things to do. It is something that will have to be looked at later.

I found my own post from 10 years ago searching for whether this was possible :-)

Any chance you can add this at some point?

Set "Chart >> Chart Settings >> Display >> Number of Forward Columns" to "1" (or some other value you would want). This will limit the number of columns forward that show dates and therefore limit the display of the Vertical Grid in that area. Refer to the following:
Chart Settings: Number of Forward Columns (Chart >> Chart Settings >> Display >> Chart Display Items menu)
