How can I edit a custom column

[penafpj]

I want to edit an existing custom column. In older posts, you can see that the custom columns had a scroll icon next to them which allowed you to edit them. I do not see that now and cannot figure out how to edit an existing custom column.

any clue would be great.

thanks in advance.

To Edit A Custom Column
1. click on the custom column you want to edit
2. click on "Add"
3. your custom column will appear in the right-side of the edit box
4. you can now double-click and edit the column

You are correct, @penafpj
It used to be possible to double-click on custom columns directly from the list and edit them.
This became broken in one of the earlier updates.
It will probably get fixed. But meanwhile, the above workaround works.

@penafpj Generally speaking, if a column is editable, you should be able to simply Right-Click on the column name in the Watchlist and select Edit Formula... Also, when in Customize mode you can select Custom Quotes... You are correct that the list of Custom Quotes no longer displays the scroll to the left of the name but you can add an entry, even if only temporarily, to the right panel and edit it there by clicking on the scroll that appears there... I just discovered this recent change this past week... Note that @useThinkScript just posted the same info...

Thanks @rad14733 !

Never knew about the simple right-click on a watchlist column, to edit it!

I generally am changing the timeframes associated with my watchlist columns based on the volatility and market conditions of the day.
This will be a big time saver!
