Question

Hi All,
Why is the display information of an indicator not stored with the indicator?
When you create an indicator, you can change the display style (line, histogram, point, etc), colour, and width. You can even then set it as default for every time you put this indicator on a chart. Great!
But not so great when you duplicate an indicator - when for instance creating an indicator 'like' the first one, but not wanting to replace the first one.
When you do this, all formatting is lost. That's just stupid! So, for each variable that you return, you have to again, set things like, width, style, and colour.
PS: Yeah, I know that you can set the colour when you return the variable, but you cannot set the width and style. So, enhancing ProBuilder language to be able to return the width and colour would be one way (probably the easiest way) to solve this.
Regards
Stef
