J81 changes order type instead of only offset

I am using cell J81 in spreadsheets for trading. I want it to only change the value of the stop order I have in the TW. I use a trailing stop order. Instead, it also changes the type to a simple stop order. This is unwanted, it should not change the order type I have already selected. Can you please change this behavior?

This prohibits me from auto-trading my system. If you have a fix ready please notify me, as I'm waiting for it. Thank you.

You can move TW Attached Order stops and targets with spreadsheet formulas using the Trade Management By Study study.

This is not regarded as a bug. This is by design.

We are thinking about how to let the automated trading study on the spreadsheet control the order type. But we cannot get to this soon.

Thanks a lot Tom, this works like a charm! I only need to keep in mind that I should not switch the chart to a high timeframe, as this will make the trailing stop update lag. I have gone for the End of bar update, as the "every n seconds" hits me with excessive Eurex modification fees.
