Please explain the issue you experienced in the most condensed way possible
Beginning as Habsburg Count of Aargau in 1066, I have fulfilled the requirements to take the Form Archduchy of Austria decision. However, the decision seems to be making the requirements BOTH/AND having a dynastic emperor with a strong hook, rather than EITHER/OR. Despite fulfilling the BOTH/AND criteria, it seems the decision doesn’t recognize anyone from cadet houses as qualifying for a dynastic emperor.

Please explain how to reproduce the issue
Try to take the decision when starting as Count of Aargau in 1066.

Is there anything else you think could help us identify/replicate the issue?
It seems to only recognize the parent/senior dynastic house for the dynastic emperor criteria, as well as both/and for the dynastic emperor or strong hook on emperor criteria.

I have attached a save game
Yes

I dont see what is wrong.
your liege has the same Dynasty (a Cadet Branch) as you have. (else add a screenshot of yourself, like you have of nikolaus your liege)
and one requirement say HRE leader is not allowed to be of the same Dynasty as you are.
that means if your Dynasty lose the HRE title you can form your Archduchy of Austria.

The issue is that the decision is coded wrong. It is supposed to be EITHER the emperor is same dynasty OR have strong hook on the emperor. This decision is written BOTH/AND for this criteria, as well as inverting the value for the dynasty criteria (emperor must NOT be of your dynasty). It needs to be corrected.

decision is coded wrong

is it coded wrong? (does code-comment say something other?)
or is your statement based on the wiki, which is not maintained by paradox but by users. (and therefore maybe not correct)?

I am basing my comment upon what was said about the decisions in a dev diary forever ago, as well as history: there was a Habsburg on the Imperial Throne when Austria was elevated to the status of Archduchy.

my comment upon what was said about the decisions in a dev diary forever ago,

did not found that, but at my search i found out that it is one of many confirmed and still not solved bugs:
CK III - Form Archduchy of Austria is bugged
or they just correct the condition/tooltip and not fix/add the OR condition
