Re: Group conditions in a rule

your condition seems to be fairly simple you dont need to be editing manifest file for this

myfield is not blank or

string-length(myfield) < 4 or

mycheckbox = string(false()) and

checkbox2 = string(false()))

Group conditions in a rule

Hi guys I am using rules on a button to do validation. This works great. But I also have 2 checkboxes that, if ticked, my validation should not happen.

I thought of adding a rule with conditions to check if the checkboxes are ticked and if so, there is no action, I just tick "Stop processing rules when this rule finishes". And then I put a rule below that rule that does the validation. This won't work in my case, though, because I have other fields that need validating too, with the same rules, which would mean they never get executed, unless the first rule on the checkboxes fail.

So I tried using AND/OR in the conditional formatting, like so:
field is blank or
stringlength(Field) less than 4 or
Checkbox1 = False and
checkbox2 = False

but this doesn't work. it creates one big if statement, and I need to group some statements. I then tried to do the grouping in the manifext.xml file by adding parenthesis around my statement groups:

xsf:rule caption="Validate" condition="(my:myField = "" or string-length(myField) < 4) or (my:MyCheckbox = string(False()) and my:myCheckbox2 = string(false()))" isEnabled="yes"

Unfortunately, this does not group my two statements.

So how can I do an if/else statement? Or at least, group my conditional statements? Can it be done in the manifest file?
