This is not possible. As I explained earlier, the second if() only ever executes when the top-level if() evaluates to FALSE.

I suggest you review and get more familiar with the precedence in which nested if() statements execute. Namely, that they execute stricly in order from the top-most level, and any nested expressions will only ever be evaluated when the parent condition evaluates in such a way as to call that particular child path (i.e. either the "true" path or the "false" path).

It would help if you can describe what you are trying to accomplish (e.g., when should "..no more than 12 numbers" show?), and expand your and() statements.

Currently, your empty array (not null technically) would be returned in the situation where the first if() evaluates false and the second if() evaluates to true.

To be clear, the second if() will only ever execute when the first if() resolves to FALSE.

If this is not what you want to happen, then you will need to restructure your if() nesting to flow logically per what you want to happen.

You can try using not condition outside and or some other logic and achieve what you want

yes, adding to that When the second if condition is true I want null and when false "must be numerical and no more than 12 numbers" should be displayed.
The problem with the above coding is, the second if is working as expected. But when the first if statement returns false, it's displaying "must be numerical and no more than 12 numbers" which shouldn't.
Hope I explained the problem clearly

with the above code, the second if is not working properly

But that's not what you said in your description.

try something like this

hema.mathivathanan — Fri, 21 Jul 2023 15:05:00 GMT

In those conditions I am checking the length of the field based on the input

sarathkumar13 — Fri, 21 Jul 2023 15:00:05 GMT

Can you tell what are you trying to check in the first and second and conditions??

you can try swapping the if conditions and check it out. It might help. it could be something like

if(

and(),

"must be numerical and no more than 12 numbers",

if(

and(),

"should be 18 digits",

{}
)

)

I need the second if too.

Hey,
If you simply want to return null for false then instead of using second if, just replace it by null.
