Hi everyone!
I’m having some difficulty with the Beginners 1 exercise.
The exercise asks us to add a test in the IF condition (if the employee is Mario).
So we end up with an IF that has two conditions: if the status is “processing” and the employee is “Mario”.
So if the IF is TRUE, the output only includes items with “Processing” + “Mario”.
What I don’t understand in the exercise is the FALSE case.
In that case, FALSE returns everything that does not contain the combination “processing” + “Mario”.
In the exercise, however, the questions/answers don’t match my results. I’m missing something.
Could tyou help me please ?
Luis

Information on your n8n setup
- n8n version:
- Database (default: SQLite):
- n8n EXECUTIONS_PROCESS setting (default: own, main):
- Running n8n via (Docker, npm, n8n cloud, desktop app):
- Operating system:
Reminder of the IF conditions:
TRUE branch = processing AND Mario
So the FALSE branch contains:
not processing OR
