I have a basic question because I dont understand why it do not work as I want it to. Asfar as I understood you can set conditions before a specific task or a chain starts. But my condition do not work. If I have 2 Books where one is in a"Series" and the other is a "Single". It do not get the two right.

My Code condition A:

program:
ifempty(field('series'), 'text_if_empty')

text
=
text_if_empty

chain -> edit Single field choose in field XY "Single"

My Code condition B:

program:
ifempty(field('series'), 'text_if_empty')

text
!=
text_if_empty

chain -> edit Single field choose in field XY "Series"

Here also screenshots:

What do I understand wrong here? Does is not check the condition at every Book selected? Or is the Text check with = and != not possible?

Its my first try with the plugin and I tested some possibilitys and read the instructions but dont get what I understood wrong.
