Because you are not in an event related to the "P" associated field group, the reference to "p1" on the "then" line will always refer to the first instance.  The reference to "p1" on the "if" part has no effect on the "then" part.

Consider, for example, the case where the "if" were true, but no instance of
p1 were to match, such as:

     If:  p1 co "NF" or a3 co "foo"
   Then:  xx = p1

Or, using your code as-is, what would happen if two instances of p1 were to contain "NF"?

You can alias an array to "p1", and test each instance individually.  Your code can then determine how to handle the case of multiple matches.

     dim p1_array(3):p1

Now, if you were in an event related to the "P" group, such as @WLFp1, then the reference to "p1" would mean "the one I'm entering / just left / 'sitting on'".
