I’ve spent the past few days trying to work out some IF/THEN logic for a side project. The problem is that this is something I could have worked out in a matter of a few minutes with actual code. I’m running into several limitations with the current IF/THEN logic we currently have in Glide. First…

[image] Jeff_Hager: Yes, sometimes you have to reverse your thought process to build a working IF in glide. It’s fine for very simple logic, but to me the current implementation of IF logic is counterintuitive to how I was taught to write IF statements in code. In some cases it’s harder to build…

I know. I think we are being brainwashed. :wink: …then I have to go to my day job and reverse that thinking again…

I just stumbled upon this thread. I started using Glide about a month after this last post. In the last four months, the thing that has bothered me the most is the lack of consistency, and unavailability of true conditional logic, and the hoops we have to jump through in custom actions (at least gi…

[image] Jeff_Hager: Custom actions handles it the best out of all three, still could be expanded to allow for combined AND/OR logic in the same condition check. @Robert_Petitto and @Yasin_Hassanien – see, it does include what we’ve asked for! Let’s all vote for this.

Ya…I was thinking of something like this: [image] Action Editor > Connect/Add branching actions and conditions Feature Requests The action editor is the most powerful feature of glide. It’s one limitation is that conditions are only allowed at the root level. Would love th…

Welcome to Glide where you can spend way too much time on things that would seem really simple! Keep up the great work though!

Big time. An “elseif” in custom actions builder would save me TONS of headache. Plz Glide <3

Do you have a specific case that’s giving you a particularly bad headache? Maybe we can help. Although the if-then-else column might seem very restrictive, it’s sometimes surprising what you can do with a little creativity and and bit of “backwards thinking” :wink:

Hi again Darren :slight_smile: Here’s my specific use case. Here’s what I want to do: WHEN orders are marked as “paid” THEN: IF user pays with credits THEN create a row in Credit History with reduction of credits. AND/OR IF users has membership (e.g. get $10 credits per order) THEN create a row …

Better and more consistent IF THEN logic
