It doesn't look like this feature is an option? Could you all add it if not?

I think a fair amount of users setup Chartbooks for a dedicated symbol then when switching Chartbooks like via a Control Bar the popup dialog window appears
'Save Any Changes Made to Chartbook' disrupting any chance of a fast symbol switch from chartbook to chartbook.

Any chance to add that functionality here?
General Settings --> Chartbooks -->
- Close Existing Chartbooks When Open Chartbook Group
- Auto-Save Chartbooks
- Auto-Save Chartbooks Interval
- Disable Chartbooks Save on Close (would be great!!!)

The options for automatically saving the chartbooks already exist. Refer to the following and the item below it:
General Settings Window: Auto-Save Chartbooks (Global Settings >> General Settings >> Charts >> Chartbooks)

There is not an option for disabling the query to save when closing a chartbook. There is the option to disable the query when exiting completely from Sierra Chart. Refer to the following:
General Settings Window: Display Save All Option on Exit (Global Settings >> General Settings >> GUI >> Application GUI)

John - thanks for the reply. Sorry that may have been confusing. I am aware of those settings that's why I copied them above. What I am looking for is the ability to Disable Chartbook Save on Close. Auto-save, understood got it. Save on Exit of Sierra Chart, understood got it.

I want to configure a bunch of chartbooks, manually save the chartbook, then be able to quickly switch between them without the dialog prompt to Save Chartbook every time from a control bar button.

I only want to have only one Chartbook open and the control bar button has the option 'Close Existing Chartbook' when switching, which brings up the 'Save any changes made to chartbook' dialog. I need to bypass that.

We understand, and that option is not currently available.

We take all suggestions under consideration, but we can not say when we will get to any particular change.

Have you all had a chance to implement this? I could not find any settings related to bypass this.
