I have a part design that requires all of its dimensions to be controlled via a design table. I have a feature that cuts a hole in the part. Due to the nature of the part there are times I want there to be anywhere from 1 to 4 holes. Therefore I have a linear pattern feature. The issue I am having is I can never have the linear pattern value be 1, even though I need it to. The model shows correctly but the design tree shows a red error.

I have looked into using an equation to suppress the feature when it =1 but I find that this is unsuccesful as well, though the equation works correctly it shows an error on both the equation folder and the feature. Is there a way to allow for a linear pattern of quantity 1?
