This is really irritating. I updated from version 1109 to 1148, then to 1152, and now to 1154. In all updates, the settings for Intraday session chart times for Evening Start Time and End Time keeps reverting to SierraChart's default for symbols with ? to ?????. Since I trade stocks, I set this already in the last two versions to start at 7:00:00 and end at 18:59:59. Now after updating to 1154, I have to reenter it again.

Can you please fix this bug?

This is not a bug. This is by design but there is something you can do to prevent this.

On the Global Symbol Settings window you have provided an image of, you need to uncheck Overwrite Existing Settings When Automatically Updating From The Server.

More information can be found here:
http://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?l=doc/doc_GlobalSymbolSettings.php#SettingIntradaySessionTimes

Another thing you can do is make a backup of the GlobalSymbolSettings.XML file.

If for some reason the settings were overwritten, you can always restore a copy of that file when Sierra Chart is not running.
