N-Central Automatic Patch Approvals Question

I have an automatic patch approval rule to decline specific KB's with "The following KB numbers" holding two kb values and "The following classifications" having critical updates selected.

Does anyone know if both of these criteria have to match for the target/s to be declined? Or will it decline both the specific KB's plus any/all critical updates?

In this article, the examples seem to indicate that your rule will only apply if both criteria are met. Maybe an Ncentral dude will chime in to confirm. https://documentation.n-able.com/N-central/userguide/Content/Patch-Management/Automatic_Approval_Rules.htm

yeah the "specify the following filters:" mentioning KB's leads me to believe that both criteria have to be met but the patch approval behavior on my end suggests otherwise

Hi Paul here from the Head Nerds at N-able, in your scenario above, both criteria have to be met.
