JCMs again

So, I have managed quite a lot of JCM creation by now, including setting up JCMs for two rotating joints (bend and side).

Now I have the problem combining three rotation joints on one JCM.
The JCM should be active, when the joint is twisted, but only while the joint is bended AND moved side -side.
So how do I do that?

BTW:
One of the problems, I ran in, when I tried it was, to have it working, but it did not make it into the next session, allthough I saved the JCM.
Is there a tutorial, how to make it propperly? No simple JCM, but one JCM for three joint rotations.

    Three joints:

    I dont think there is a standard approach as its probably dependent on what the morph is but you can set your 2-joint controller as one of the controllers and then the 3rd angle as the other controller.

    So 2 joint JCM can be the 2nd Stage Multiply controller, and 3rd joint can be the 1st Stage Controller.

    Why its not saving:

    Make sure under "Save with" option in the Property Hierarchy it is set to the morph you will actually be saving out when you go to Save Asset.  "Save With" ight be set to another property and therefore the controller settings you are editing might be expected to be saved with another property.

    "Save Modified Assets" might also automatically save such.

    My project is, to have my character to be able to sit in a lotus seat position.
    I don't want a one time post effect correction morph, but I want to create a JCM, that can make that happen any time.

    ok... thats nice?

    if you are implying what i described would not give you what you want, i fail to see what the problem is. Is there a part that's not clear.

    I am not at computer so can not give screenshot.

    Usually those thing are hard to describe and difficult to understand without some footage.
    So, I'd like it to put it another way:
    I want to do a lotus seat position. 
    -One JCM that corrects the thigh bending
    check, done that
    - a second JCM, that corrects the side rotation, but ONLY when the thigh is bent.
    check, done that one too.
    But how do I add a third JCM, dialing in, ONLY when the thigh is bent AND to the side?
