Study Subgraph as Text Above/Below Bar on TPO chart

I want to overlay the daily open interest data on my TPO chart to analyze the longer time frame player's stance with respect to daily trading activity (long liquidation vs new shorts etc.). After studying the SC documentation, it becomes clear that this data has to come from a historic data chart (daily) using the overlay study. The configuration (c.f., screenshot below) has of course to reflect the fact that there is only one data point per day, which works fine in a separate chart region - but is much harder to read than a display of OI directly at the TPO bars.

Therefore, I try to display the OI data as text above/below bar using the appropriate study. This does not work as expected. It seems that instead of using just one data point for the whole TPO bar, it tries to display the text for each block individually. The result is unreadable.

Do I miss some configuration setting? Or is there any other way I can achieve the desired result (OI displayed below TPO)?

And while we are at it: is there a way to display the prefix 'OI' in front of the text? I could certainly live without this, but it would be a really nice addition ...

We would generally not expect this to work properly with a TPO Profile Chart and based upon the Study Settings of the Study/Price Overlay study and the result that we are seeing, we do not see how this is going to work.
