I don't understand why the "Display 'text' Tab on Chart Drawing Properties Window" option is set to "No" by default instead of "Yes".
I spent a lot of time trying to find it, and as someone who is just starting out with Sierra Chart, it was quite difficult to locate this setting—especially to even know what it's called. It would have been much easier if it had been enabled by default.
Just a suggestion that might help other new users save some time and frustration.

Best regards,
Marek

Is it possible to permanently save a custom Tool Configuration (e.g., TC1) that includes not just the style of a drawing (e.g., line color, width), but also predefined text associated with the drawing?
Currently, I have a line tool set up and saved under TC1, and when I draw it on the chart, I want a specific label to appear with it automatically (like "POC" or "Target Zone"). This works if I copy the line on the same chart – the text stays.
However, when I go to another chart and draw the line using TC1, the visual configuration loads correctly, but the custom text does not – it reverts to default (blank).
Is there a way to embed or bind that text label directly into the saved Tool Configuration file so it persists across charts? If so, could you point me to the proper way to configure it?
Thanks in advance!
