Post From: Volume At Price Mult and custom Symbol Settings

I use SC Number Bars (footprint charts) with equities. My Global Symbol Settings for equities is set at a default Volume at Price Mult of 1.
For certain higher priced, thinner names (i.e. TSLA, GME, DOCU, etc) I would like these specific symbols - and only these specific symbols - to use a Volume at Price Mult of 10 instead of 1.

I tried creating custom Global Symbol Settings for these stocks and set their Volume at Price Mult at 10, which works.

However, when I switch the chart back to a more liquid stock that is lower priced, the chart does not return to the default Volume at Price of 1, it remains at the setting of 10.

How do I make SC always default to my default Volume at Price Mult of 1 tick except for specific stocks I explicitly want to always chart at a Volume at Price value of 10 ticks?

Ex: I load NIO and my Volume at Price Mult is correctly set at 1. I switch symbols to TSLA, and my Volume at Price Mult correctly changes to 10. I switch back to NIO, but my chart does not revert back to Volume at Price Mult of 1 -- it stays at 10.

Thank you in advance.
