Color Bar Not Updating on Historical Indicator Data when Changed

I am using the colour bar on alert to colour an indicator line when it is above 70 or below 30. The problem is that my indicator auto-adjusts to always show the current visible data in the ranged from 0 to 100. This means that the "normalisation" causes the historical values of the indicator to adjust. The problem I am facing is that the color bar indicator that I have added to color the line does not get adjusted and as a result I get a bit of a mess on my screen. The only way to fix it is to refresh the chart with the "insert" key. How can I get the color bar indicator to update correctly? I am attaching images of before and after a refresh. SC Version 2177 running.

Any update on this? Why does the "Color Bar ..." study not update when the data in the underlying study it refers to changes?

It is not typical that a study adjusts previous data, therefore the Color Bar Based on Alert Condition does not recalculate the previous data. Refer to the following study to help with this: Chart Recalculation - Periodic For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing

Can I trigger the recalculation of the Color Bar studies in my code when I have to re-adjust the historical study data? I prefer that than having a refresh based on time which is not efficient.

Sorry I did not think of it. Refer to the following: ACSIL Interface Members - Variables and Arrays: sc.FlagFullRecalculate For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing

John - SC Support) It is a pity that there isn't recalculation function only for one region.

@Ackin It's also a pity one can't automagically recalculate or reload a study or chart in real-time when the live chart time crosses thru a given Session Time chart setting. (e.g. sc.StartTime1 or sc.StartTime2... or even sc.EndTime1 or sc.EndTime2)
