Post From: Cannot Add Single Study Preset to a Chart w/ Existing Studies

Here is my use case:
I have several Singe Study Collections, essentially study presets, that I need to add to a chart one at a time. The reason for this is that I might have 4 different versions of opening range, or 3 different versions of VWAP. Some charts I want all of them, some charts I want some of them. Either way, I need the ability to just simply add study presets to a chart with existing studies already on it. This is achieved in Ninjatrader by Indicator Templates, and makes the process of setting up a new chart extremely simple. In Ninjatrader I can have 30 different versions of VWAP (colors, line formatting, setttings, etc), and add each version to a chart one at a time if I wanted. In Sierra I need to be able to do this in order to have minimal functionality of the platform.

My problem:
If I try to add a saved Single Study collection/name to a chart that has one or more studies already on it, adding a single study removes all the other studies. I have seen a potential solution whereby I should be able to click the box "Prompt to Remove Existing Studies". This is not helpful though. When I check this box, it adds a "+" onto the end of the study I am trying to load. When I click load, I get the messages box popping up showing that there was an error trying to load the study because the file doesn't exist. (Because I have no file name saved with the "+" sign on the end)

So trying to add a single study preset/template onto a chart is seemingly not possible. It is not feasible for me to constantly be manually setting up studies for each potential variation I have created. There must be a way to do this / there must be something obvious I am missing.

Please help.

Potential Solutions:
1) Allow multi-select on the Analysis dropdown, which would be an extremely easy way to let me configure a new chart and then save those as a Study Collection
2) In addition to the "Load" button on the Chart Studies screen, have an additional "Add" button, which would add the selected study/collection name onto the chart's existing Studies to Graph instead of overwriting.
