Rolling contract causes loss of chart settings

If I manually change a chart from Z19 to H20 contract, then the session times etc for that chart default back to the global symbol settings.

I have many charts for the same symbol and month, all with their own Chart Settings. They are all linked by Symbol, so that when I roll my main chart, all others roll.

Now, every one of my charts has lost their specific chart-level settings that were required to drive the calculations that were imported from those charts. I now have to reset them all manually. It is a huge mess.

For the future: is there any way for me to keep chart-specific settings when I am changing contract month within the same symbol root?

Specifically the Chart Settings at the individual chart level of concern are:
- session times
- Use evening sessions

I don't understand why these should change to symbol root default settings when I change the contract month of an existing chart.

Letting you know in the next release we will prevent the chart Session Times from ever changing when there is just a change to the same symbol but a different contract month.
