Using the basic templates, I have to customize my graphs twice - once for private and again for public - I'll attach screen captures - your prior instructions didn't work for me

How can I setup charts for private and public that have the same customizations without doing the work twice?

At present it is not possible to copy the ThingSpeak field plot settings from the public view to the private view.

I would reccomend using MATLAB visualizations app to create the plot with all the settings that you want. Then you can add this visualization to both the private and public view and it will have the same settings.

For example, have a look at the code for this example. It shows a MATLAB visualization with several customizatoins.

You can also pre set the x and y-axis limits with xlim or ylim, and set the ticks with xticks, etc.

Thanks for this answer. This matlab code is a bit beyond me so I need to schedule some time to review it. In the meantime, I just made my channel public and only customized the public graph. That's ok for me now. Thanks again for your time. Give me something to do on the weekend
