I am having problem with the new behavior of Study Default.
Please see the illustration below:
I have a number of charts, for different instruments or different resolutions.
Many of them share the same indicator, but each with a different setting.
The problem:
After a modification and re-compilation of the indicator, all my charts are reverted to the default setting.
I have to go back to every chart to change the dash line or color or thickness again, and again.
This is not the correct behavior.
Please correct this Format Study behavior at the earliest date.

Re: Problem with Study Default
one solution is to give users a choice of settings.
e.g. set the default as a Global setting, or local setting for this chart only.

Hi TJ,
Developers were able to reproduce the problem and confirmed it is a bug. Most likely, it will be fixed in 7.0 version of MC.
Thank you for reporting.

Re: Problem with Study Default
while you are at the Study Default,
please also fix this bug:
Problem:
When changing the margin default of one study, it changes the default of ALL studies.
Please see illustration below:

Hi TJ,
It is not a bug. It was designed to work that way.
For each particular technique, only PL settings are saved. The rest of the settings are general.
Thank you

This was not how the indicator worked before. (a couple generations ago.)
Each indicator has its own defaults.
You cannot have one set of margin for all kinds of indicators.
1. An oscillator that begins with zero and ends at 100 does not need any margin.
2. An indicator that has undetermined high and lows will have margins at both ends.
3. A histogram that goes from zero to an undetermined high will have margin at the top only, but not at them bottom.
This type of default can be saved with each indicator, and it should be so.
This was how MultiCharts behave before!
Please review this expectation with the engineer.

Hi TJ,
The settings from the screenshot are the only ones that get saved for the particular technique in Format Study dialog. I have double checked with developers and they confirmed it was designed to work that way.
Than you
