Populate one row below a specific row

Hi, I am having trouble with the Multi-Row Formula tool as when I run it, it seems to populate all rows below a specified row value rather than just one row below.

 

In this instance, I would like to populate row 2, 5 and 10 with 'True' since row 1, 4 and 9 contain 'True'.

I would suggest:

IIF(IsNull(Field1) AND [Row-1:Field1],1,[Field1])

 

with the Multi Row Formula tool to create a new Field2 and then a Select tool to swap it for Field1

 

Have attached a sample
