Pine Script / Plotting values only from last highest high

I am trying to plot values for the variable test that come only after a time or bar moment. The moment is when high == highest(high,63) and from then I would like to plot the high values on further bars and not on previous bars. This is possible with show_last of the plot function, but how can I use an automatic constant for show_last which could be the number of bars back when the first high == highest(high,63) without using a manual input?

//@version=4
study(title="Test", overlay=true)

moment = valuewhen(high == highest(high,63),time,0)
test = time < moment ? na : high
plot(test, title="test", color=color.yellow)

You can't use show_last for that purpose, because that parameter needs to be an input integer (which value is constant).
You're asking to provide the show_last parameter with a series integer, but that would lead to a compile error.

I think this is what you want:

//@version=4
study(title="Test", overlay=true)

var bool moment_occurred = false

if high == highest(high,63)
    moment_occurred := true

plot(moment_occurred ? high : na, title="test", color=color.yellow)

But once that condition is hit for the first time, it'll always plot af that moment.
It never gets reset.
