[Locked] - show market data columns grayed out

I have a chartbook with several charts in it. On one and only one of the charts, the "show market data columns" on the Trade menu is grayed out, and there is no market data showing on the right-hand edge of the chart, but the data is being provided.

Is there an option that enables and disables this option per chart? Thanks!

Is this satisfactory? I have cleared all other studies off the chart.

Most likely you have the wrong columns being displayed. You probably have the Buy and Sell columns, but not the Bid Size/Buy column. Refer to the information starting here:
Global Trade Settings Windows: Buy Order Column - Left/Center/Right Aligned

If it is not this, then refer to this section for other items that may be the cause:

I changed the name, but not the underlying data. I did not change this chart - one day it was working, the next it wasn't. I wrote code for 35 years, so I think I would've checked any changes I'd made to the chart.

None of the reasons listed in Global Trade Settings Windows: Troubleshooting Market Depth Data Not Displaying in Chart/Trade DOM Columns apply.

As I said before, it doesn't show up on just this one chart. Every other chart I have in that chartbook shows it. It's not the data feed. It's not the display options. The entire selection is grayed out. Please see attached.

First, the fact that the Show Market Data Columns is grayed out is normal in this case. This is because you have the option for Trading Chart DOM On. Refer to the information in the 4th paragraph of this section:
Trade Menu: Show Market Data Columns (Trade menu)

Second, as we suspected, the columns that are displayed are the Buy Order Column and the Sell Order Column.

If you are typically using the option for Show Market Data Columns then this may explain your confusion, as the Buy and Sell columns never displayed when you just use the option for Show Market Data Columns. Since somehow, the option for Trading Chart DOM On was enabled, this probably changed what you typically had displayed. Again, refer to the information in the section liked above.
