I selected "Download Dividend Adjusted Historical Data" in Global Settings -> Data/Trade Service Settings, and then downloaded some intraday historical data. However, it did not have any dividend adjustments.

Does this setting only affect Historical Daily data?

Yes, this is only for Daily Historical data that comes from the Sierra Chart Historical Data service. This is all stated here:
Data/Trade Service Settings: Download Dividend Adjusted Historical Data (Global Settings >> Data/Trade Service Settings >> Common Settings >> Historical Daily Data)

OK, thanks.

Is there a reason this is not offered for the intraday historical data too? This is obviously useful, and now I will have to try to back-out the dividends from the daily data to apply it to the intraday data.

I would like to echo the last comment - for many securities, the functionality to automatically adjust data for dividends would be very useful and save considerable time. Since the adjustment factor is already computed for the daily data, incorporating the same for intra day data should be trivial - please consider. Thanks.
