encountering the value 1,000 (with a comma separator), interprets it as a
thousand while interpreting 1.000 (with a dot separator), as one.

must be TRUE for the action to execute. To set up conditions, the Rule Interface is
displayed, allowing to edit the condition for the given action. See theRule Interface page
