Is there a way to update the volume threshold quickly from the chart without having to open 'studies' 'select study' 'edit volume'

for example is there a way to add a shortcut that when clicked an input box appears to adjust the threshold of this charts study?

Refer to the following for the only other built-in way to do this:
Chart Studies: Changing Study Inputs Directly from Chart

Another option would be to create a customs study that does what you want. Refer to the following:
ACSIL Interface Members - Functions: sc.SetChartStudyInputInt()

This is exactly what I was hoping for, however when I type 'In:Id2.In1=10' nothing happens.

I suspect I need to set up keyboard inputs or something similar to allow this to work?

Any help is hugely appreciated

You need to change the ID and Input numbers for your actual study. So if the ID of the Volume at Price Threshold Alert V2 is 4, then what you type in would be the following:
In:Id4.In2=10

Where Input 2 is the Volume Threshold input for the "Volume at Price Threshold Alert V2" study.

Is a text box or something meant to appear when I start typing?

I typed as per your instructions to match the study number, but when typing nothing happens

No input box appears, nothing - as if the keyboard input is not registering

There is no text box or anything that will appear. You might be able to see the text being inputted on the Title Bar of the window, but this depends on how much space is available, so you may not see anything.

Make sure you are using the "Enter" key after entering everything else.

And if you are unsure of where you are in the process, you can use the "Escape" key to clear the input buffer and start over.
