Local Symbol Linking

Am I missing something, or is local symbol linking still unavailable.

Others may feel the opposite, but for me and most all of the friends and clients I talk to, global linking is only occasionally useful, whereas local linking (as provided by competing platforms) is a use-it-every-day necessity.

In terms of gain vs. difficulty, implementing local symbol linking is low-hanging fruit.

Please add this capability soon!

Dear MC_Prog,

As far as I understand, you are talking about symbol linking on per workspace basis. Your feature request has been forwarded to the developers.

Dave,

Yes, that is correct. Thanks for the forward.

I've also added this as a Feature Request in the PM:

https://www.multicharts.com/pm/viewissu ... e_no=MC-73

The major point is the need to be able to change Symbol throughout a workspace without having that change affect other workspaces.

Same need for Interval as well ...
