Behavior of chart linking propagation

I have 5 Charts linked on L1:

L.1-#1: Linking: Symbol + Studies
L.1-#2: Linking: Symbol + Studies
L.1-#3: Linking: Symbol + Studies
L.1-#4: Linking: Symbol + Studies

L.1-#5: Linking: Symbol

When I change studies in #5, studies changes propagates to first 4 charts. If this is expected behavior, I don't find this logical: why would a chart NOT setup for studies linking, propagates its studies? Shall I wanted this behavior, I would have set it up for studies linking. If I did not set it up for studies linking, it's because I don't want it to receive or propagate studies.

This renders the feature troublesome, thus useless.

Is this intended?

What you are describing is the behavior of the linking. From the documentation for linking:

The particular Chart Linking option which is enabled on a chart, affects that chart if the corresponding action is performed in another chart with the same Link Number. So in other words, if there is chart 1 and 2, they both use the same Chart Linking number, and chart 1 has Chart Linking >> Scroll Position enabled and chart 2 does not, then scrolling chart 2 will scroll chart 1.

For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service:

It's bad behavior then. If I wanted chart 2 to propagate scroll to chart 1 I would set link for scroll on chart 2 also.
