Can an automation treat multiple conditions separately?

[Phil Bustin]

I would like to build an automation that can create multiple sub-tasks, based on one or more checkbox values--for example, 3 checkbox values that can be checked or not, in any combination.  Would I need 3 separate automations, or can one automation handle the 3 conditions separately?

I tried listing the conditions one under the other, but they are treated as nested conditions, so if the first checkbox is not checked, but the second is, the second condition won't be met.

If I try if-else blocks, I'm pretty sure the conditions would exclude each other, instead of allowing combinations of conditions.

I noticed a couple of suggested posts, and one provided the answer--insert branches.  That worked.

Hi @Phil Bustin , 

You can use If/Else blocks. However, you shouldn't use the Else-part. Simply end the entire block and start a new one for the second conditional issue creation action. 

• Trigger
• IF-ELSE: checkbox one = true
  • Then: Create issue
• Add else (none)
• IF-ELSE: checkbox two = true
  • Then: Create issue
• Add else (none)
• If-Else: checkbox three = true
  • Then: Create issue

Have a nice day! Rik

I'll try that tomorrow.  I thought I tried it today without success, but we'll see...
