Post in same thread/support request. We have not started this feature task yet.

This post today [2017-10-07]: Any further progress on this project? I had an idea but don't know if it is technically possible. As I obtusely stated in my initial posts above back in early August, I have been able to partially successfully use the "Horizontal Lines" Study (albeit in a most cumbersome, time consuming and totally INflexible way intraday, spontaneously).

Here's how I have "jerry-rigged"[Merriam-Webster:" jerry-rigged: organized or constructed in a crude or improvised manner"]my "Color Bar based on Alert Conditions" to allow for 20(out of possible, it appears, 59 defaulted in the Study) reference lines: 1.) Added "Horizontal Lines" Study to each chart; 2.)Duplicated my "Color Bar Based on Alert Conditions" study 20 times; 3.) Used "Horizontal Lines" Study ID# with each respective SG.#'s (1-20) in each individual duplicated "Color Bar Based on Alert Conditions" custom study.
Each evening doing research/homework for the next day, I manually enter "static" reference prices in the "Horizontal Study" Input Values. During intraday trade the next day, as new "dynamic" references unfold and some static ones become no longer relevant, I must replace numbers within the Horizontal Lines study as quickly as possible IF there is time, and most importantly, if it is not tediously distracting me from immediate concentration. It sure would be nice if at least the "Input Value" would have the option of entering "Horizontal Line" ID #'s initially, that remain there "permanently", instead of(in addition to, if one so wished, to actual Price Value (as is the case now). Then, old references could be moved/new ones added by simply changing/moving/dragging any given Horizontal Line on the main chart at any time, most efficiently and expeditiously, their I.D
#'s having already initially been entered in the Horizontal Lines Study. Just wondering what you might be considering in light of your previous comments " And one thing we will do is add to the Chart Drawing Properties window, the ID number of each drawing so that it can be referenced." and subsequent, " [2017-09-02 22:08:53]Sierra Chart Engineering - Posts: 52264
