Post From: Drop Down Menu on Control Bar

Sorry for posting it here, but wanted to bring up a feature request, strongly related to this topic: Chart Linking Option: Symbols List.

In our group, we are using several chartbooks with several charts in each.

All of them are using the exact same list of futures contracts, and all of the charts use the same chart linking (usually Link #1). So every chartbook can easily share a standard symbol list and all chartbooks can be uniformly operated using the Control bars' SymbolList Dropdown menu, which is way more convenient than displaying an extra quoteboard to control symbols.

The problem is when it is time to update the symbol list at/after expiration.
It is always a painful and very long process (not rarely taking up to 1+ hour) because of the large number of symbols included in the symbol list.

After manually updating an existing symbol list and saving it with a new name, first the existing symbol lists should be manually removed from each chart, and at the same time the new symbols should be manually imported into the watchlist of every single charts in every chartbooks.

We already requested this in the past, but posting it here again:

Can you please consider adding the 'Chart Linking Option: SymbolList' to SC? Then using the 'master mode' option in the linking section would reduce the long updating time to a couple of simple clicks.

Thank you in advance.
