  Yes, and there are more ways to do this but here is a starting point for you:

  And here is a guide for How to use logical operators 📌

  • Set the configuration's feature id's to something you can actually type like "Shape":

  

  • Create a variable "isSquare" or whatever you want to describe and use operators

  

  • Right click the feature and add the dynamic suppression expression to it, here is where you can insert your "isSquare" variable.

  

  • Do the same thing for your "circle sketch" except insert !#isSquare which will reverse the true false value.

  

  Note: you can control selections and queries with this kind of logic too, but query variable doesn't support it yet so you will have to use something like Query Finder feature to easily turn them into variables that you can modify.

  There are cases when what Michael is suggesting is necessary, but for most common cases, you can just configure suppression with the relevant config input and then convert one or more of the cells to an expression by right-clicking in the configuration table.

  oops, i read too far into it 😁
  thought you were wanting to control those features via multiple configurations rather than one configuration.

  This still requires a variable to be created. I was hoping for a way to do it without a variable by directly accessing the configuration name at the dynamic configuration expression maybe something like: ([config]=="Default?True:False)

  Don't suppose there's a way to skip creating the variable and directly access the configuration ID? toString([current_configuration])=="Default"
