Why duplicate declarations in built-in indicator?

[ttodua]

in CurrentDayOHLC indicator's (built-in indicator) source we see, that the six fields (currentDate, currentOpen , etc...) are assigned value in class declaration:

private DateTime currentDate = Core.Globals.MinDate;
...


and also, in state.configure.

currentDate = Core.Globals.MinDate;
...



I'm interested, generally, why the value assignment is needed two times? isn't it enough, when in class declaration they have values assigned already?

Hello TazoTodua,
Thanks for your post.

Generally you are correct that you would not need to assign a value twice like it is done in this indicator.

Looks like the development team simply wanted to ensure that it was assigned once during OnStateChange. This would ensure that value is updated when the indicator is added to the list of applied objects.
