How do I display a Config option only when two or more other items are True or False? I tried

```auto
when: repl{{ ConfigOptionEquals "option_one" "0" }} & repl{{ ConfigOptionEquals "option_two" "0" }}

```

but this isn’t working as expected.

Answer:  
Only show option `foo` if both options are false.

```auto
    - name: conditional_and
      title: Conditional conditional
      description: only shows up when both option_one and option_two are set to False
      when: repl{{ (and (ConfigOptionEquals "option_one" "false") (ConfigOptionEquals "option_two" "false")) }}
      items:
        - name: foo
          title: foo
          type: text
          default: "foo"

```

You can use both `and` as well as `or` in the `when` field if you are using templating.

Here is an example config that displays labels based on which options are selected:

```auto

apiVersion: kots.io/v1beta1
kind: Config
metadata:
  name: config-sample
spec:
  groups:
    - name: example_settings
      title: My Example Config
      description: Configuration to serve as an example for creating your own. See [https://kots.io/reference/v1beta1/config/](https://kots.io/reference/v1beta1/config/) for configuration docs. In this case, we provide example fields for configuring an Ingress object.
      items:
        - name: option-1
          title: option 1
          type: bool
          default: "0"
        - name: option-2
          title: option 2
          type: bool
          default: "0"
        - name: option-3
          title: option 3
          type: bool
          default: "0"  
        - name: option-1-and-2
          title: Option 1 and 2 are selected
          type: label
          when: repl{{ and (ConfigOptionEquals "option-1" "1") (ConfigOptionEquals "option-2" "1") }}
        - name: option-1-or-3
          title: Option 1 or 3 are selected
          type: label
          when: repl{{ or (ConfigOptionEquals "option-1" "1") (ConfigOptionEquals "option-3" "1") }}

```

Here is how it behaves in a deployed instance:
