If H4 remains >1, H3 will toggle locked/unlocked as H5 toggles TRUE/FALSE. Forcing the recalc in this situation does not unlock H3. H4 must be <2 before even a 'Recalculate All Formulas' will reset H3. Or follow the process where H4 must be <2, then H5 must become FALSE then TRUE, before H3 is ready to lock again.

Use the blue cells to see manually how it is supposed to work. Automatically unlocking a locked TRUE cell can be convoluted in even simple cases. Forcing a recalc would probably make it more so because you'd have to do it at a certain point in the process.

In my experience, using a locked condition TRUE formula is only needed in rare occasions.

A more reliable solution is to create a persistent variable in a Formula Column.
