Can I target multiple properties with a single appearance rule?

Yes, you can specify multiple property names in the TargetItems parameter separated by semicolons, or use '*' to target all properties of the object.

How do I handle conflicting rules on the same property?

Use the Priority parameter. When multiple criteria are met, the rule with the highest Priority value wins and its styling is applied.

How do I activate the Conditional Appearance module in my XAF project?

You can add it by including RequiredModuleTypes.Add(typeof(ConditionalAppearanceModule)) in your ModuleBase constructor or by using b.AddModule () in your Program.cs for newer .NET apps.

Is it possible to use custom CSS in XAF Blazor with this skill?

Yes, the skill supports the CssClass parameter within the [Appearance] attribute, allowing you to apply specific styles defined in your application's CSS files.
