Hi Guys, I have made a custom form with a save button. In the action i have given multiple conditions, but it’s only responding on the first condition. Is this a known problem? Or am i doing something wrong? ![Skærmbillede 2022-05-19 kl. 08.24.53](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/3/4/34e0dabf6fa8fd14d8183fa101757ba33b1a9be6.jpeg) ---

It’s most likely an error or misunderstanding in the way you’re applying your logic. The way a custom action with multiple conditions works is that it will execute the first branch where the IF condition returns true, and then short-circuit (ie. none of the other branches will execute). So if you’re finding that it only ever executes the first branch, that probably means that the first condition _always_ returns true. One piece of advice: I notice that you have a fairly complex if-then-else condition in the first branch, with several tests. What I usually do in cases like this is move the logic to the Glide Data Editor. So instead of complex if-then-else logic in the action, create an if-then-else column in the data editor that returns true or false/empty. Then your action condition can just be something like “if blah-blah is not true, then…” Taking this approach makes it a lot easier to debug when things don’t work as you expect. ---

Hi Darrren, It’s only executing the first condition on every branch thanks for advice, i’ll try to move the conditions to data editor ---

> [@Darren\_Murphy](#): > > move the logic to the Glide Data Editor I do this also. One of the main reasons is that the if/else logic in the data editor and the if/else logic in the custom actions were developed independently of each other, and so they both work differently. So for consistency, I always use the logic in the data editor when I can. ---
