Glad it worked! Here's some good info on why parentheses are required for something like this:
So if you have the format like your original...
A
AND
B
OR
C
...if A is false, evaluation stops and the entire rule is false (your initial problem). If A is true, B is checked. If B is true, the entire rule is true since B comes before OR. If B is false, C is checked. If C were true the rule would be true, but in your case C and A would never be true at the same time.
When you add the parentheses, it evaluates inside first and aggregates it first.
(A
AND
B)
OR
C
Now if either the combination of A and B is true, or C is true, the entire rule can be true, which is what you were after.
Hope this makes sense.
