Since we don’t have parenthesis in expressions it’s not clear when building them what precedence applies.
Like “X and Y” is obvious.
But how is “X and Y or Z” evaluated? is it “(X and Y) or Z” or is it “X and (Y or Z)”?

Seconding this. Would certainly be helpful to know what the consistent rules in Bubble’s logic are for this.

This might answer it: How are AND and OR operators handled?

So, from the other thread, @mishav says Bubble works left-to-right. Meaning…
x = and/or
A x B x C x D becomes
(((A x B) x C) x D)
So if you want a different order you have to use a function that gets evaluated independently. Mischav’s example is to use something that evaluates to yes/no. You could probably also use an invisible input or a custom state.
A x B x C where C already = (X or Y)
so instead of this ((A x B) x C)
you’d get ((A x B) x ©) = ((A x B) x (X or Y))
