error message serializing indicators (?)

[Tasuki]

Just now backing up NT 7. Got an error message saying that several of my indicators could not be "serialized", and an instruction to see Help for more info. So, I did a search in Help and got "No topics found".. See attached chart.
Please advice.

Hi Cody

I too face the same error message viz' Indicator could not be serialized' and it persists despite repairing the DB as suggested. Error message is attached. Please help in resolving this issue.

Hello Gdshan,

Thank you for your note.

The message you're getting suggests some of your indicators are not coded properly for serialization. Serialization is most commonly needed for user definable color inputs and allows these inputs to be saved in workspaces and chart templates. If these are your own custom coded indicators, a guide to serializing color inputs is available here:

If these are not your own indicators causing the message, we suggest removing them from charts and / or contacting the author to discuss.

Please let us know if you need further assistance.
