I have a Form Rules Conflict that I cannot resolve.   It is supposed to work like this:  the user can select from 1 up to 8 steps of approval from the "# of Approval Steps" numeric, multiple-choice field.    If they select 1, then Approval Step 1 "shows" (2 thru 8 "hide").  If they select 2, then Approval Step 1 and 2 "shows" (3 thru 8 hide).

What is instead happening is that when 2 is selected only 2 displays, instead of 1 and 2.   Likewise, when 3 is selected, only 3 displays, instead of 1 and 2 and 3 etc.. all the way through 8.

I think the form rules could work if there was a way to "turn off" the 'Otherwise' section.   Is there a way to do that or is perhaps Custom Data Rules the preferred option or ?

You need to "get your mind right" as described in the Cool Hand Luke reference in this post.

Basically you need to write a rule per field and not a rule per situation.
