[Programming Help] - Multiple Time Frame Comparisons Without Revisions to Lower Time Frame

I am using Study Overlay to transfer the results of Color Bar Based on Alert Condition study from a higher time frame chart to a lower one. I want to compare this alert condition to another CBBOAC on the lower time frame and have a positive condition when both are true. I would like the lower time frame bars to hold the last value of the higher time frame for each bar of the lower time frame instead of changing all encompassed bars back in history on the smaller time frame chart when the larger changes. The goal of this is to keep the signals on the shorter time frame chart from being revisionist every time the higher time frame changes (I want a record of what the higher time frame was at the time of the smaller time frame). For example if the 5 minute bar goes red at 2:52, I want the comparison on the 1 minute chart to have green bars at 2:50 and 2:51, Red bars from 2:52, 2:53, 2:54, 2:55. I can only find combinations of settings in the CBBOAC study that change the bars at 2:50 and 2:51 to red as well, which revise all of the signals that were previously given on those two bars on the lower time frame chart. Is this possible with Study Overlay? Or do I need a different study to accomplish an accurate multiple time frame history? Thanks in advance for your time.
