Im getting Error 5040 since recent update on MT5

All program were working fine om previous build and my mt5 version is 4016

It includes CustomTicksAdd function

 
download older version and block updates.

i would like to solve it or want moderators to report this if its a bug or looking forward for any demo code which imports some demo bars using CustomTicksAdd function to a demo custom symbol on mt5 build 4016

 for e.g.

What is the "path" of the symbol when it was created ? 

(on 4000 it works , are you using a beta version perhaps?)

path is Custom/

i checked it says Added tick but in reality does not add any bar on symbol on build 4016.

i think you must add the first bar if it has no origin.
