Chart Header - Description - Change not working?

In the chart header I'm trying to get ES/NQ/CL displayed instead of actual symbol from exchange. Thought it would be easier to just remove Symbol from header and add Description. I've tried a few things but can't get it to change.

* Use custom symbol settings is checked
* Edit Global Symbol Settings -> Changing 'Description' to Custom - NQ then -> Apply Global doesn't change the header.
* Note: Default shows "E-MINI NASDAQ 100" yet the Description header displays "E-MINI NASDAQ 100 NQ June 2022"

Can't get it work on any symbol...

This is because the Description field is getting overridden from the data feed which the data feed provides.

Instead use the field Custom Title Bar Name and set that through the Chart Settings.

Thank you I have customer title bars already set. I'm looking specifically for a way to have ES/NQ/CL etc in the chart header. Is that possible?
