Conditional Order triggering regardless of script study

[bnnnboy]

I am trying to create a study-based conditional order and am finding that ToS thinks the study meets the conditional requirements, regardless of what I enter as the trigger threshold. Here is the script I'm trying to use:

input dura = 10;
input agg = AggregationPeriod.MIN;
input PutStrike = 175;
input CallStrike = 214;
input underlyingEXP = ".IWM220318";
def na = double.nan;

input show_option_plots = yes;

def call_mark1 = close(Concat(underlyingEXP, Concat("C", CallStrike)), period = agg, priceType = PriceType.MARK);
def call_mark2 = if isnan(call_mark1) then call_mark2[1] else call_mark1;

def put_mark1 = close(Concat(underlyingEXP, Concat("P", PutStrike)), period = agg, priceType = PriceType.MARK);
def put_mark2 = if isnan(put_mark1) then put_mark2[1] else put_mark1;

plot avg = Average((call_mark2+put_mark2),dura);
avg.setdefaultcolor(color.magenta);

plot cmark =  if show_option_plots then call_mark2 else na;
cmark.setdefaultcolor(color.blue);

plot pmark = if show_option_plots then put_mark2 else na;
pmark.setdefaultcolor(color.red);

That study creates the following chart, so it looks like the script is working as it should:

My process for creating the conditional order is to create the order (in this case the 18Mar22 IWM 175/214 strangle), click on the gear icon next to the exchange selection, then under the Conditions section of the page I select IWM for the symbol and then select Edit Study for the method which brings me to the Study Order Condition window. I change the aggregation to 1-minute, add my study and verify the input are correct, fill out the trigger condition, and make sure the AlertValue looks reasonable:

After I click OK I am back at the Order Rules window and it looks like this:

I click Save and then send the order. Within seconds the order is "WORKING" instead of "WAIT COND", despite the Alert value being ~1.88 and my trigger being "less than or equal to 1.30". I tried making it greater than just in case there some weird inverse comparison going on, but it still went to "WORKING" within seconds. What is going on here? Am I missing something? Is this an issue with my script, or the order, or ToS, or me?

I contacted ToS support a week or two ago about this and they were confused by the behavior as well. It seems ToS may not be handling the numeric output of the study correctly. They suggested two changes that seem to be working for now:
1) modify the script so the output is a boolean rather than a numeric value:

input dura = 10;
input agg = AggregationPeriod.MIN;
input PutStrike = 175;
input CallStrike = 214;
input underlyingEXP = ".IWM220318";
def na = double.nan;

input show_option_plots = yes;

def call_mark1 = close(Concat(underlyingEXP, Concat("C", CallStrike)), period = agg, priceType = PriceType.MARK);
def call_mark2 = if isnan(call_mark1) then call_mark2[1] else call_mark1;

def put_mark1 = close(Concat(underlyingEXP, Concat("P", PutStrike)), period = agg, priceType = PriceType.MARK);
def put_mark2 = if isnan(put_mark1) then put_mark2[1] else put_mark1;

def avg = Average((call_mark2+put_mark2),dura);
plot avgBool = avg <= 1.38;

2) that rather than inserting a saved script through the inspector tool, paste the script text directly into the thinkScript editor window.
