So, just ran into something that I need 3 values to do correctly, but not quite sure of the formatting.  
Normally I do something like this:

```
*if (X =true) or (Y=true))

```

That’s for 2, but not sure if something like this,

```
*if (((x=true) or (y=true) or (d =true))

```

will work, so. If anyone could help clear this up? Would be grateful. Anyway, I hope that everyone who reads this has a good weekend.

\*if (((x) and (y)) and (z)) is acceptable format for three.

I believe the above needs an additional left parenthesis:

\*if ((x) or (y))

Note this thread:

All of these work. There’s other combinations, but this should cover all the main stuff. \*create Condition\_1 true \*create Condition\_2 true \*create Condition\_3 true \*create Condition\_11 10 \*create Condition\_22 10 \*create Condition\_33 10 \*if (Condition\_1 or Condition\_2) or Condition\_3 Yes \*i…

Basically if you are using boolean values for check then this is acceptable

```
*if ((x or y) or d)

```

but if you are using checks write in following format

```
*if (((x > 10) or (y > 10)) or (z > 10))

```
