Hi,
I've read the documentation of "Customizing Trade DOM and Chart DOM Columns" but I can't find in which way can you set the default for columns, ordering, etc, in order to be used in other charts by the "Use Deafaults" button.

There is not a way to set the defaults for the columns specifically. You would have to create a Chart or Trading DOM and have it setup the way you want, and use that as a Template. Refer to the following:
Using Chart Templates: Duplicating Charts / Template Charts

Thanks, but...
It's a pitty actually, to have to duplicate a chart in order to use ONLY the settings for the Chart DOM columns.

Just some pain points :
1. What if actually you need in the new chart, the SAME Chart DOM columns, but NOT all the other chart settings?
2. Confusion, over the use of "Use Defaults" button in the Chart DOM Column Configuration window.

The function of setting custom defaults for Chart DOM Columns, and using these on new charts or overriding (like for example Chart Graphing Settings and Global Graphing Settings) would be super helpful.

Is it possible for your team to address it?

The "Use Defaults" resets the columns to just be the basics. It does not apply any other settings (as you have seen).

We take all requests for changes, but we can not say when we will get to any particular item.
