Multiple Keltner Channel Lines For ThinkOrSwim

I would like to have the inputs of the Keltner Channel indicator changed to include multiple factor settings so multiple ATR lines can be displayed. I accomplished this in a study setting by having 4 Keltner Channels included in the study. After saving the study, it won't hold together when applying the study to a different chart. Just a single (standard) factor ATR line is shown. Here is what I'm looking for. These factor input settings are 1.5, 2.5, 3.5, 4.5. I would like to have the option of setting the factor input to any multiple. Thanks
