Hi Team, looking for some confirmation from an expert!

In a DMN table, there are three output columns each one relying on the output of the previous column (Screenshot below). And it works! Wondering if this is working by chance or if DMN engine actually executes/evaluates output expressions in the order they are defined in the table.

Thanks for your time!

Hi.

Yes this is correct.  
The output entries are evaluated in the same order as defined in the decision table.

Regards,

Yvo
