All products with a price greater than 100 now belong to this Shopware 6 dynamic product group. You can check how the rule works by clicking the Preview button.

What about other control elements? Use the AND button to create more conditions. In this case, an item must meet all of them to belong to this group. 

You can also create a further condition using the OR button. In this case, only one of the two rules must be met for the item to belong to the group. 

As for the SUBCONDITION button, it creates rules that must be met along with the main container. You can create numerous sub-conditions with different relations to each other.
