I'm fairly new to Nintex Workflow, though I do have some experience with other workflow applications. Right now, I’m working on configuring a Set a Condition step on my workflow with multiple criteria.

What I’m trying to do is that when a rVendor Id] is empty and if the rStatus] field is either “Awaiting Final Approval” or “Dept Approved”.

Solution #1
If current item field equals value eVendor ID] is empty

AND

OR
Stage] is “Dept Approved”

Solution #2
If current item field equals value mVendor ID] is empty

AND

mStage] is “Awaiting Final Approval”
OR
If current item field equals value Vendor ID] is empty
AND
]Stage] is “Dept Approved”


Based on my experience with a previous app, the second solution usually delivers the best results. However, I'm not sure if that applies to Nintex Workflow. When I tested the second option, it didn’t trigger anything, whereas the first one did work. Could you help clarify this for me? I really appreciate your support. Thanks in advance!

Hi ​@rcostillas,

Welcome to the community.
The issue here is that the action does not have the capability to know where the parentheses are.
 

For instance, is it:

(If current item field equals value uVendor ID] is empty AND NStage] is “Awaiting Final Approval”)

OR (/Stage] is “Dept Approved”)

Or is it:
(If current item field equals value qVendor ID] is empty

AND ( gStage] is “Awaiting Final Approval” OR lStage] is “Dept Approved”)

The action works well with multiple AND statements or Multiple OR statements, but does not work with mixed statements. You may need to embed multiple set a condition actions or other methods to direct the flow based on the required logic.
