You can add this to the wish list for future releases, but FrameMaker does currently support automatically assigning a condition based on paragraph (character, table) tags, although it is fairly simple to automate this via an FDK client or FrameScript. So I'm a bit confused by Deirdre's

Hi, Ben: From your comment below, I'm not sure if you're aware of condition indicators. You can create them with text attributes like overline, underline, and strikethrough, plus a color - either one of the default FM colors, or a custom color you create. You can opt to show or hide these
