Here is my grouping logic:
1 AND 2 AND (3 OR (4 OR 5))
Condition 3 is a parameter condition set to deactivate if it doesn’t return rows.
What I’m hoping for is that if condition 3 does return rows, conditions 4 and 5 will be ignored, but if it doesn’t, conditions 4 (and if not 4, 5) will be evaluated.
Is that what I can expect to happen?

Well that’s not exactly correct. 4 and 5 are still be evaluated, but depending on how you have Condition 3 set up I think you can still get the results you are looking for.
If your condition is merely looking for the presence of the parameter, I think it will work because no matter what values are in 4 or 5 the grouping will be true.
However if it is looking for a specific value in the parameter you could get inconsistent results. This is because 4 and 5 are still being evaluated and though 3 is False, the or statement with 4 and 5 still makes the entire grouping True.
Hope this helps.
+18Ok, that works. Thanks.
Two follow-up questions:
- Wouldn’t it be slightly better from a performance standpoint to stop evaluating conditions linked by OR statements as soon as one came back true?
- How does Skuid handle OR conditional logic when new rows are created in a model?

I can’t answer your first question, but exploring your second one suggests that each condition prepopulates the new record with the selected value, regardless of the condition logic. They are all applied.
