condition priority

Pat, you’re going to have to bear with me here. I watched your video like 8 times and I’m still not entirely sure what you’re suggesting. 

I understand that you want some conditions to be ignored if others are true, but what I’m not quite sure about is how Skuid is incapable of doing this in a declarative manner already by applying grouping logic. If you do something like “(1 AND 2) OR (3 AND 4)”, if “1 AND 2” evaluates to true, Skuid wont even bother checking the “3 AND 4” since the statement would resolve to true regardless of the outcome. Could you maybe give me some more information?
