Hello,

Thank you for the post.

I will need to get further clarification on this to understand why this may have been removed. It does appear that all of the standard bar types have been modified to omit the open where UpdateBar is used. If you are creating a type that is similar to one of the existing bar type, you could use the included bars types as a reference point while developing. Once I have further information on this item, I will reply back here.

I look forward to being of further assistance.

Hello,

After further clarification, In this case, to adjust open you need to RemoveLastBar then AddBar to modify the open price and set IsRemoveLastBarSupported bar bool to true.

I look forward to being of further assistance.

Even though the bar open field is visible in NT7, it is not adjustable and cannot be updated.
The NT8 version does not have this field which is more correct because it is not update-able. The only way to change it is by the method described in prior post.
