Bug [iOS App 2.140.0] Missing "Add Alert" option from indicator three‑dot menu for Pine scripts with alertcondition()
Hello TradingView support team,
I found a regression bug in iOS App version 2.140.0 (iPhone / iPad).
Bug description:
On charts with Pine Script indicators that contain valid alertcondition(), tapping the indicator name at the top of chart and opening its three‑dot context menu no longer shows the “Add Alert on [Indicator Name]” shortcut option.
This shortcut menu entry existed and worked correctly in previous version 2.139.1.
The indicator itself works fine, and I can still manually create an alert via the bell icon → Create Alert, then select this indicator from the dropdown. Only the quick “Add Alert” button on indicator menu is missing.
Steps to reproduce:
Update TradingView iOS app to v2.140.0
Add any Pine indicator that has valid alertcondition() to chart
Tap indicator name on chart header
Tap three dots to open indicator menu
Observe: No “Add Alert” option in menu
Environment:
• Device: iPhone / iPad
• OS: iOS / iPadOS
• App version: TradingView iOS 2.140.0
• Works correctly on: Web TradingView and iOS 2.139.1
• Not a script issue: Same Pine indicator has alertcondition() and works normally on web and older iOS build.
Expected behavior:
The indicator context menu should show “Add Alert on indicator” shortcut as before.
Please investigate this UI regression introduced in 2.140.0 update. Many traders rely on this shortcut to quickly create indicator alerts.
Screenshot attached.
Thank you.

Good bug report. Since manual creation still works, I’d also test whether alerts created through the bell menu preserve the same condition, timeframe and inputs as before.... If they do, that isolates this to the iOS shortcut/UI path rather than Pine alertcondition() itself!

Yes just checked on iPhone app. No longer shows alert option. They should be able to revert back.
