Default Possible to exclude some charts from having objects drawn on them?

When drawing on a chart, you have the option of setting the object to be drawn on only the particular chart in question that is active, or on "All" charts. What I can't seem to find as an option, and what would be nice, is to be able to exclude certain charts from having objects drawn on them when the "All" setting is applied.

Imagine you have the following set of charts: 1 minute, 3 minute, 10 minute, daily, weekly. When you draw a trendline on the 10 minute chart, it would be nice to see that same line on the 1 and 3 minute charts, but not on the weekly or daily charts. Look at the attached screenshot to see how a short-term trendline shows up on a weekly chart, for example - not very useful, and it just clutters up the display and consumes computing resources. That same trendline is shown on 2 minute chart for comparison purposes.

Can you add this in the next version, so that we have the ability to exclude particular charts from having objects drawn on them?

JS999,

Please right click on the chart you wish to exclude--> select "Data Series"--> set 'Show global draw objects' to 'false'.

This will prevent any globally drawn objects from appearing on the chart.
