Splunk If else and severity search query

I am trying to write splunk search where I have 2 conditions and my query returns the results based on that 

for example if condition1 matches create a new field (SEVERITY)=SEV2
if condition 2 matches SEVERITY=SEV2 
else SEVERITY=SEV3

How can I achieve this ...In my search string I am using couple of fields to filter the data putting that as SEV2 criteria ...I am able to filter it but and get the results for both the conditions but I am stuck where I cannot call everything else as SEV3

| eval SEVERITY=if(index=abc AND sourcetype=QWE AND action=XYZ, "SEV2", if(NOT (test=blabla AND action=xyz), "SEV2", "SEV3"))

 

 

Can you give an example of your current queries for a little context to what you are asking for?
