The issue I'm having is that when in a TPO chart, it is not showing the study name, input values, etc.. Displaying study names and input values works flawlessly for all other studies so in my case the issue seems related only to the TPO study. I believe I've looked at all relevant help topics in documentation and I've got everything set correctly, I think. I essentially just want to see what's in the title header window, in region data lines again. Please see attached screenshots. Thank you!

FYI, this is ONLY an issue with TPO charts. The reason I want them back is because I uncheck: Chart >> Show Title Bar, so without being able to see: Study >> Subgraphs (tab) and "Display Study Subgraphs Name and Value", I'm unable to quickly see what the tick value is set to. This is especially useful when changing between NQ and ES for example, where on NQ because of greater movement, I typically use 8 tick and with ES I often use 1 or 2 tick. So, if Sierra recently changed this with version 2086, please change it back. Interestingly enough, if I go to Global Settings >> Customize Chart Header, and REMOVE all header fields then click OK, on all charts except the TPO chart, the default is shown (Symbol - Bar Period - Chart #, appears to automatically get added back... makes sense). However, the TPO chart does not show that default, and only has "TPO." Very strange. Makes me think something is corrupted. See attached of two charts side by side directly after removing all "Selected Header Fields" in Customize Chart Header. That "TPO" in the Region Data Line does not show up if Selected Header Fields contain (individual adds): Symbol, Bar Period, Date, Time.

The "Short Name" was set to TPO, and by removing it, the name now includes "Profile Period: ...." and it shows up in the Region Data Line ONLY if the "Customize Chart Header" fields are all removed, then set on the default of "Symbol - Bar Period - Chart #". Display Input Values checked still does not produce them in the Region Data Line. However, this is at least a work-around to display the profile period tick settings (even if it now annoys me that I must see the chart # on other charts since this is a global setting). edit: it is interesting to me that if I set: Global Settings >> Customize Chart Header to individual lines of: Symbol, Bar Period, Chart Number -- this does NOT produce the same result in the Region Data Line when using "Symbol - Bar Period - Chart#". Although a nuance, it shows an inconsistency in how the Chart # vs Chart Number is pulling data (in this case, differently). Maybe this will be useful to SC when considering/checking for this issue.

There have been no changes with this. The issue I'm having is that when in a TPO chart, it is not showing the study name, input values, etc.. Those Study Settings have never been supported with a TPO Profile Chart. The standard chart header is displayed. In the latest prerelease, we implemented a change where the header fields for the TPO Profile Chart are displayed always to the left regardless of study order. But this does not seem relevant to the issue. In the next release when you use the Bar Period header field, you will see the same information for a TPO Profile Chart that you see when using this header field: "Symbol - Bar Period - Chart #" Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support.

That makes perfect sense then.
