Spreadsheet System for Trading disconnects from chart after symbol rollover.

After executing a symbol rollover for a chart with the Spreadsheet System for Trading applied, I am unable to get the chart and sheet connected again. My sheet shows that it’s linked to chart #2 which is correct, but the symbol in the sheet has not been updated to the one shown in chart #2.

The sheet has been renamed “AutoTrading” and also shows the previous contract in cell J40. When I attempt to select the sheet in the Spreadsheet System for Trading it expects a sheet number, but since my sheet has been renamed there is no number shown. Entering numbers (1-4 for instance) in the “Chart Data Output Sheet Number” settings field results in the creation of a new sheet, not the linking of the study to my existing “AutoTrading” sheet. Restarting the program has no effect.

Is there a way to get this spreadsheet reconnected to the chart or do I have to delete and reapply the spreadsheet study each time the symbol changes?

If the Chart number is #2, and the Chart Data Output Sheet Number input with the Spreadsheet System for Trading study is set to 0 or 2, then the Sheet name in the Spreadsheet must be Sheet2. It cannot be "AutoTrading".

Is that a specific Spreadsheet System for Trading requirement due to the way it was implemented, or is it also the case across other Spreadsheet studies that pull data from a chart?

Yes this is a requirement for all of the Spreadsheet studies.

We do plan to add the capability to use different names for Sheets but that has not yet been done.
