RE: Hide/show select options

Hello

You just need to AND them:

instance('form_data')/select/item[
	(position() != 3 or instance('inst')/firstval = 1)
	AND
	(position() != 1 or instance('inst')/anotherval = 2)
]

((not X) or Y) is the same as (if X then Y) and conditionals succeed
whenever the antecedent is false or the conclusion true.
