I have tried many combinations of setting a variable at the App OnStart level. Essentially I want to use ModelDrivenFormIntegration to say if either of two fields is "Yes" (OptionSetValue) that a button and a text field should be disabled. For simplicity sake, we'll say Field1 and Field2 are the two fields, Button1, and Input1 are the controls to be enabled/disabled. All of the following failed:

Set Inputs DisplayMode to variable, set DisplayMode based on logic:

Button1.DisplayMode & Input1.DisplayMode = varEnabled

App.OnStart = 
Set(
 varEnabled, 
 If(
 ModelDrivenFormIntegtation.Item.Field1 = 'Yes' Or
 ModelDrivenFormIntegration.Item.Field2 = 'Yes'
 ), 
 DisplayMode.Disabled, 
 DisplayMode.Enabled
 )
)

Set variable to true/false, and do an simple If statement on the DisplayMode of each

App.OnStart = 
Set(
 varEnabled, 
 If(
 ModelDrivenFormIntegtation.Item.Field1 = 'Yes' Or
 ModelDrivenFormIntegration.Item.Field2 = 'Yes'
 ), 
 true, 
 false
 )
)

Button1.DisplayMode = If(varEnabled, DisplayMode.Disabled, DisplayMode.Edit)
Label1.DisplayMode = If(varEnabled, DisplayMode.Disabled, DisplayMode.Edit)

Then to make sure I wasn't going crazy (or that App.OnStart and ModelDrivenFormIntegration weren't loading at times to create conflict), I created three labels, and did the following:

App.OnStart = 
Set(
 varEnabled, 
 If(
 ModelDrivenFormIntegtation.Item.Field1 = 'Yes' Or
 ModelDrivenFormIntegration.Item.Field2 = 'Yes'
 ), 
 false, 
 true
 )
);
Set(
 varLabel1,
 If(ModelDrivenFormIntegration.Item.Field1 = 'Yes', false, true)
);
Set(
 varLabel2,
 If(ModelDrivenFormIntegration.Item.Field2 = 'Yes', false, true)
);

Label1.Text = varLabel1
Label2.Text = varLabel2
Label3.Text = varEnabled

The result was Label1 = false, Label2 = false, Label3 = true.

I have tried every combo I can think of, but I cannot figure it out. I have also replace the inline Or with the Or() inside of the If statement. I have also tried nesting the Set() statement within the If statement. It all leads to the same result of it not working as I would expect it to work. The only way I have gotten it to work is if I put the exact same If statement from my first example directly into the DisplayMode of the various controls. I can use that workaround, but I was wanting to use this variable throughout and feel like this should work.
