I am using a Renko Chart with a Color Bar based on Alert condition that is derived from a study in a separate panel. The bars are being colored based on my alert formula, but I cannot get the extension lines drawn off those same bars. What am I missing?

You need to set the Input Output When Condition True to Use Input Data otherwise it is trying to draw the extension lines at a value of 1.0.

I tried that after updating to latest SC version but it's still not working. Is there something else I'm missing? Also I got an error message when updating, (see attached) what does that mean and does it have any effect? my SC seems to be working fine aside from this issue.

Thx John.

I did not notice at first, but you have a mix of items going on. If you want to color the Renko Bars and put the Extension lines on the Renko Bars, then you need to change the Based On Input to Main Price Graph and then set the Input Data to the bar item you want to use for the extension lines (High, Low, Open, or Close).

With regards to the update, it appears that the Bridge program was still running for some reason, but it was able to copy the file on the retry, so you are fine.
