Long story told short: use the Properties item for mutual exclusive 
conditions. The magic outer value is not available there anymore.

The Properties item slightly changed. The current documentation for it 
is available here: 
http://doc-snapshot.qt-project.org/qbs/properties-item.html

For more complicated conditions use JS on the right hand side of the 
property assignment.

Note that outer still works as described in the quickref for Group items.

Whoops! Thanks, we'll fix it.
