Way to copy conditions into group?

[tradgrad]

I have a Set 1 of "if all" conditions configured.
I now have a new condition that should be an "or" condition for one of the conditions in the original set...

I have a lot more conditions than this, but to simplify:

[If All]
Condition 1
Condition 2
Condition 3

I want to make it:
[If]
Condition 1
AND
Condition 2
AND
Condition 3 OR Condition 4

The way I'm thinking this has to be done in Builder is to put Conditions 1,2,3 into an "If All" group, and then Conditions 1,2,4 in a different "If All" group and have the overall Set 1 be "If Any" of those two groups.

A) Is there a better way to accomplish this?
B) Is there any way to create a group from existing conditions and/or copy them into a group? Or do you really have to recreate them one by one?

Hello tradgrad,

Thank you for your post.

To answer question B first, there is no way to create a group from existing conditions or to copy them into a group; you have to recreate the conditions into the group one at a time. As for question A, if the overall set will be "If Any" I can not think of a way to simplify it. If you change the overall set to "If All" then you could have conditions 1 and 2 in the main set outside of a group, then create a group that holds conditions 3 and 4 and set it to if any. I'm not sure if this would meet your needs, but it would check if all of the following are true for example:
Condition 1
AND
Condition 2
AND
either Condition 3 OR Condition 4 (if either is true the group will become "true")

For example, this set of 3 conditions checks if the Close for the current bar is greater than the Close from 1 bar ago, the Close from 2 bars ago, and the Close from 3 bars ago:

This could be modified so that the main set still checks "If All" are true, but move the third condition into a group set to "If Any" that also checks if the current Close price is greater than the prior day OHLC close value. This means that if the current Close is greater than the close from 3 bars ago OR if it is greater than the prior day close, the condition group will be evaluated to be true:
