showing Description instead of Name?

[Trandy]

Hello Support,

is it possible to display the Instrument Description instead of the Instrument Name?

Especially within a chart window and an Instrumentlist.
Within a Chart in the Instrument-Selection box, the current Instrument is displayed by its Instrument Name. One can select in any existing Chart another Instrument from any Instrumentlists.
Within a Instrumentlist the Instruments were also displayed by their Instrument Name.

My question is: is it possible to change a Chart window to display the Instrument Description instead of the Instrument Name? And also to change displaying the Instrument Name to displaying the Instrument Description for Instrumenlists?

Best regards
Trandy

Hello,

Thanks for your post.

Can you further clarify what part of the chart you would like to display this information? In the Instrument dropdown selector, or somewhere else?

I look forward to your reply.

Yes - in the Chart Toolbars dropdown selector filed. Here one can search for a Instrument using an Instrument name (symbol) and also using the description. But when the chosen Instrument is loaded, this field displays the Instrument name (symbol)
One can also in this dropdown selector field select an Instrument from any Instrument lists. And in the Instrument lists the Instruments were also displayed by their name (symbol).
In both cases i like to see the description instead oft the name (symbol)

The content of the Chart tabs can be configured (by rename), but not to display the description.
