solved it! all new blank charts added to the layout come in with desired bar style (as per local default layout) and Price Chart Style set to "auto". the *final* chart created in a layout needs to have its Price Chart Style manually set to "Bars" - then after saving and re-opening the layout, all charts in layout retain bars and do not revert to candles. peculiar, but nothing else i tried worked... -jim
