How do we get to display the "Full Name" field in a column for watchlist items .

Like Symbol = EWD
and Full Name =" iShares MSCI Sweden Index (ETF)"

AddColumn("Full Name", FullName());

does not seem to work. Returns a blank for every symbol

There is a problem in the FullName function. We will fix this.

There is another way to display the full name. Select Tools -> Create Functions, click on add and type a name (example: fname).
Add the following code then save:

result.Assign(cFunctions.SymbolInfo.FullName);

Now, in the watchlist type the following formula:
AddColumn("Full Name", fname());

That returns a Nan . It seems the fName function returns a number instead of String.

Sorry, I forgot to tell you to uncheck "Return Numeric Array" checkbox in the "Create Functions" form.
