Thanks for all the replies, but I am still at a loss to make this work. I
have looked at the example mentioned below and copied it to my construction
space. But when I go through it as a "student" the flow seems to be the same
as if the conditional sequencing is nonexistent. 

 

In my case I just tried putting a simple conditional statement

 

&EXT('user.resource.resource.0.solved','diag1') eq 0

 

And blocking if true (also tried blocking if false) and there seems to be no
affect. I can navigate through the sequence as if there were no
conditionals.

 

My brain must have reset during the holiday break.

 

If someone else has another working example, it would very much be
appreciated if I could peak at it.

 

Best,

Jay
