How can I make each Strategy window pull data only from the certain DataSet that I need for a Single Symbol, but not pull it in the preset order from the Historical Providers Tab?
If I have two Strategy windows open, I need each window to pull the data from its DataSet.
WL6 pulled the data only from the DataSet you have chosen on the left, but this one is very confusing. It is not clear where the data is coming from.

You can always see the data source (provider) it's coming from in the Strategy\chart's status bar. The fallback mechanism is a clear benefit of WL8 since it's able to get the data "no matter what", not a confusion.
Also, for a Portfolio Backtest ...
I am referring to a single symbol, not a portfolio.
I don’t need to pull data "no matter what"—I need it to be pulled only from the specific source I intend. Pulling data from another source arbitrarily creates confusion and can lead to mistakes.
Consider two ASCII datasets, "A" and "B," where both contain common symbols but have different end dates—"A" ends in 2020, while "B" ends in 2024.
The goal is to have two working strategy windows, each corresponding to a specific dataset. This should be a straightforward setup, yet it seems impossible to achieve in Wealth Lab 8.

Create the two DataSets, clone your Strategy, save the setup into a Workspace.
Saving the strategy under a different name while it pulls from the correct dataset doesn’t solve the issue. After restarting Wealth Lab 8 and modifying the checkmarks in the Historical Providers, the saved settings get overridden. As a result, the newly saved strategy starts pulling data from the selected provider’s dataset, ignoring the original settings at the time of saving.
What made you think that what I describe deals with how you configure the Historical Providers tab? It's global and has nothing to do with the workspace.
Saving setup under Workspace does not change the DataSet source, so it does not help.
So is it possible to have two working strategy windows, each corresponding to a specific ASCII dataset like "A" and "B," where both contain common symbols but have different end dates?
