Using multiple "If" action sets versus one "If, ElseIf" action set.

Question

I inherited an Adaxes environment and have been reviewing and cleaning up the business rules that populate a user's address information at creation. All of these rules are configured to use multiple "If" action sets, versus one "If-ElseIf" action set. I stumbled across Adaxes documentation that specifically recommends not doing this. Everything seems to be working as intended, so what is the down side in doing multiple "If" action sets?

Hello,

The downside is about checking conditions. In case of Else if blocks, once conditions for a block are met, there will be no further checks for the next blocks. In case of actions sets (all starting with the If statement), no matter of the conditions being met, the conditions for all sets will always be checked.
