here is the context. i have 5 charts linked to #1 and have them all linked by symbol. i have another chart that was not linked to anything that has a different symbol. if i change that single chart to link to #1 and use the symbol option, it changes all of the other 5 charts symbol to this charts symbol. that seems backwards in that it should take on the linking properties of the group of 5 linked charts. when it is done this way and i want to add a chart to group of linked charts all of the already linked up charts take on the single charts properties and then i have to change it all back afterwards. am i missing something here? |

How this works is documented here: https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/doc_ChartSettings.html#LinkNumber If it does not work as you want, then do not use this functionality. It will not change. It is already properly designed. Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support. Other responses are from users.

ive read that and the docs say nothing about which chart sets the link. does a group of 5 already linked charts inherit the properties of a single chart that is newly linked to that group or does the single, newly linked chart inherit the properties of the 5 linked charts that are already established. it seems the current way is the latter and makes for extra steps and chart loading/recalculating. its backwards.

It is neither. There is no such thing as inheriting in this case. Here is the relevant documentation for Symbol: Symbol: When the symbol of a chart is changed, the symbol of other linked charts using this option will change to match.

i read that as well and makes perfect sense, but that is assuming you are making the symbol change on a chart that is already linked and not a chart being added to an already established linked group.
