Modified include files do not trigger insert linked indicator reload

[yellowslug]

If an include file is modified, insert linked AFL formulas which reference the include file are not reloaded.

This applies to files referenced directly as well as files referenced indirectly (nested includes).

What's up with that?

[fxshrat]

Include file content (See "_Test.afl" in animation below):

x = 1;

AFL applied on chart via insert linked (see output in Interpretation window):

#include <_Test.afl>

printf("x = %g", x);

Watch this:

You mean "MythBusters"?

Well, what is the wording...
I guess it's "Myth debunked".

One must not forget about absolute basics like: including exact VERSION numbers (don't say "latest" - it means nothing) including minimum, but working reproducible example of the formula that shows the problem that can be copy-pasted and run without modification better yet, in case of Analysis (backtest/exploration/optimization), save entire PROJECT FILE (File->Save As...) into .APX file and attach it so one can just load the project (this includes formula and settings) specifying exactly WHA…

Since some people are afraid of posting their "super secret" formulas... For what it is worth: when I ask for "full formula" I don't ask for your "secret sauce" or magic Coca-Cola recipe. I don't need to see any holy grail that you invented. What I need is an working example formula (artificial without your "secret sauce") that is enough to reproduce the problem. The formula that can be copy-pasted without changes and run to reproduce the problem. It does not need to be profitable, it does n…

@fxshrat i do not understand how your post applies to this issue.

Please read the FAQ... What is the difference between Insert and Insert Linked option in chart menu?

Are you serious?

You claimed that if modifying include file then AFL files been inserted linked are not updated.

@yellowslug

regarding posts... is there anything about treating others with civility and respect... perhaps u can quote that for us?

Comes from a guy who is not able to follow basic guidelines. If you look for respect in return then pay respect first.

And again you come up with kiddy like SMS style.

@yellowslug

i still do not believe u r correct.

I am 100% correct here as it has been proven by providing clear facts with reproducible examples instead of posting SMS style gibberish.

@yellowslug

That code is gone now. It isn't worth the effort to recode it. The next time my work addresses this issue i will double check and report back.

Oh look at that... not based on facts but on guesses. Not sure anymore so has to double check first.
What's up with that?

The story before is just talk.
Formula1 writes to file1. Good for you.
No one knows what file. Write to file how?
What does include file got to do with that file1 no one knows what it is about and what's include file's content and whether it is even related to creating file1 by formula1 which surprise surprise is of unknown content too?
What's up with that?

Useless story telling. And formula does not even exist anymore. Thanks for wasting time.

But at least it is proven that modifying include file causes update from main file. Good.
