Footprint not duplicating correctly

Hello
I hope you are all well.
I would be really grateful for help with my footprint chart
My footprint chart is based on renko bars in ticks. When I try to duplicate this chart, the system duplicates the chart and produces another identical chart (which is what I want), it then immediately downloads the data again and converts the chart from a renko chart to a 3 min time based chart.
If I go into chart settings > bar period > and change the bar period type back to renko bar in ticks and set the bar period value to 3 ticks, the system reloads the data and produces the desired chart, and then immediately converts it back to a 3 min time based chart.
This also happens happens to any other footprint chart that I duplicate across from another chartbook.
I have check the study settings and they all seem to be the same, I cannot work out why this is happening.
Please help.
Best wishes
Chris

You most likely have the chart linking setup for the Bar Period and when you duplicate to another chartbook it is then picking up the linking for a different chart. Refer to the following:
Chart Settings: Chart Linking (Chart >> Chart Settings >> Linking menu)

The other possibility is that the chart has a dependency on another chart, and then when duplicating to another chartbook, that other chart has a different bar period. This is similar to the above but would be due to a study. Refer to the following:
