How to disable multiparm parm with combined conditions?

It seems that houdini is not able to evaluate two conditions when the two parms driving them are mixed (one from outside the parmblock folder and one other from inside)
Or it's most likely that I'm just plain dumb.
In any case, would you please have a look?

I'm trying to disable the “local seed” when the general switch is OFF (local seed on?) and when the corresponding sequence type is set to STEP.
As you can see in the picture, the “localSeedOn” toggle is not checked, but it is not able to drive the “disable” action on the local seeds subparms.

Thanks a lot

I guess it's just some trivial stuff that I'm missing out.
Anybody has a clue?

cheers

Also wondering about this. Can we not just reference multi parms for disable/hide with the # syntax?

this doesn't seem to work for me

In my case I had just assumed that menu option could be compared by their index. But you actually have to set the token value to whatever integer, like in this example from the labs random select:

It works for me, if you write "{ traitSequenceType# == 1 } { localSeedOn == 0 }"
