THANK YOU FOR FLOWS!
After some challenges grappling with them not saving properly, which was finally fixed by uninstalling and re-installing Wappler, I’m having great success with flows, having just completed one with 18 sets of double conditionals which works like a dream.
Each double conditional was quite complex and then the 18 different ones were very very similar. I used the Flow user interface to create the first one, test it and duplicated it 18 times, and then I just edited the small changes to each one in the HTML code. That way, I know each one is in exactly the same format, and I find it easier and more reliable than creating each of the 36 conditions and actions in the menu system. It was all very fast and very smooth!
The complete flow is nearly 600 lines of code… but many of those lines are just closing brackets for the different conditions.
If you are interested in what it does and to see the code, I’ve pasted the details below.
Thanks folks!

=================================
So I am creating a large business admin app, and within that there are 18 different “lookup” values which the user can modify to change what appears in different drop down menus… different tags, groupings, etc.
Once a lookup is defined and then associated with an item in the database (so a contact tag is defined and has been associated with a contact for example), then I don’t want the user to be able to delete the lookup. Hence the Flow checks for the use of all 18 different kinds of lookups and only allows deletion if that particular value has not been used.
Here is the code!
