Does PowerApps allow for multiple IF statements within a Collection?

Basically, I am collecting information through multiple drop downs. Users need the ability to either select a value from a drop-down or click a checkbox, which then allows the user to enter in text. I need the ability to collect values for either from the drop down or from the text input (depending on IF the checkbox is selected)

**Note not all drop down values have a checkbox, only the ones specified in the code below**

Collect(AppCollectionCreate, {Title: "Created_Skill",Employee_x0020_Name: 'CS.Name_value'.Text,Skill_x0020_Category: 'CS.SkillCat_drop'.Selected.Value,Skill_x0020_Subcategory: If('CS.SubCat_check' = true, 'CS.SkillSubCat_textimput'.Text, 'CS.SkillSubCat_drop'.Selected.Value),Skill: If('CS.Skill_Check' = true, 'CS.Skill_textimput'.Text, 'CS.Skill_drop'.Selected.Value),Vendor: If('CS.Vendor_Check' = true, 'CS.vendor_textimput'.Text, 'CS.vendor_drop'.Selected.Value),Product: If('CS.Product_Check' = true, 'CS.Product_Textimput'.Text, 'CS.Product_drop'.Selected.Value), Proficiency: 'CS.proficiency_drop'.Selected.Value, Admin_Approval: "Yes"})

ClearCollect(AppCollectionCreate, 
 { Title: "Created_Skill",
 Employee_x0020_Name: 'CS.Name_value'.Text,
 Skill_x0020_Category: 'CS.SkillCat_drop'.Selected.Value,
 Skill_x0020_Subcategory: If('CS.SubCat_check' = true, 'CS.SkillSubCat_textimput'.Text, 'CS.SkillSubCat_drop'.Selected.Value),
 Skill: If('CS.Skill_Check' = true, 'CS.Skill_textimput'.Text, 'CS.Skill_drop'.Selected.Value),
 Vendor: If('CS.Vendor_Check' = true, 'CS.vendor_textimput'.Text, 'CS.vendor_drop'.Selected.Value),
 Product: If('CS.Product_Check' = true, 'CS.Product_Textimput'.Text, 'CS.Product_drop'.Selected.Value), 
 Proficiency: 'CS.proficiency_drop'.Selected.Value, 
 Admin_Approval: "Yes"})

Yes, PowerApps allow for multiple if statements for every elements within the collection.

It is recommended to switch to ClearCollect for you to compare the collection difference with different conditions.
