I am using the current version 2432. When I open my charts the Watchlist is smaller in width than it was when I closed and saved my charts from the previous session. My Watchlist has 6 columns and the last column on the right is cut off when I open my charts. I then need to expand the last column but when I open the charts in the next session the right column is again cut off.

It sounds like you are referring to the Quote Board. The issue with the size of the Quote Board is resolved. Update to the current version:

Actually it is not a Quote Board or Watchlist but a Study Summary Window. If you need a screen capture let me know.

Did this fix the issue of multiple DOM's resizing as well? I've noticed with multiple chartbooks open and a detached DOM for each the sizing doesn't save (same issue as quoteboard)

Ok we will check on the Study Summary window.

We were not aware of any problem with this. We will check on this.

I have downloaded version 2434. It seems the Study Summary window will maintain it's configuration in a new session as long as it has one blank row at the bottom. This is something I can live with so you can close this ticket. If you decide to fix this in the future that would be great.

This does not make any technical sense and it is not reproducible. We do not know what the issue is in your case:
the Study Summary window will maintain it's configuration in a new session as long as it has one blank row at the bottom.

We doubt you would continue to have this issue. As long as you are on the current version.

FYI I'm on 2438 and the quoteboard still needs to be resized. I do have my quoteboards on a secondary monitor if that matters.

Also I have SC configured to open 4 instances yet it only opens 2. Every restart I need to manually open the other 2 instances (this has been ongoing issue for a while now...)

How do you have your Instances defined to start? How exactly is it entered in that setting?

Main instance -> General Settings -> Instances to run on startup -> 3

Only 1 instance opens then I need to open the other 2 manually.

Sequence

- Main Instance automatically opens Instance #3
- Main Instance -> File -> New Instance -> Opens #2
- Main Instance -> File -> New Instance -> Opens #4

That setting is not set correctly. Refer to the documentation here for that:
General Settings Window: Instances to Run on Startup (Global Settings >> General Settings >> General >> New Instances)

Thank you that took care of the instances.

Have you all had a chance to correct the quoteboard resizing/not saving its position?

No we cannot help with that. This is an operating system level issue in your specific case. Refer to:
Window Size and Position Not Restored When Opening Chartbook

Anyone can run a test, on the current version of Sierra Chart or even an older version and see that the Quote Board size and position is saved and restored.

However, as help topic 14 explains, there are conditions where that does not work which is fully the fault of the operating system. Not Sierra Chart.

Update: You can verify that Sierra Chart is saving the size and position of the Quote Board correctly by positioning the Quote Board within the first or primary monitor on your system, saving the Chartbook, closing the Chartbook and reopening it. The Quote Board will have the correct size and position.
