You can turn off conditionality by selecting the Conditionality feature in the Container dialog to clear the box. When you do so, the Conditionality tab is removed.

Warning: When you make a Container conditional, the Treat as SubSystem feature is also automatically selected (and cannot be deselected unless you first turn off Conditionality). That is, a Conditional Container, by definition, is treated as a SubSystem. Because a Conditional Container is treated as a SubSystem, this puts certain limitations on how Conditional Containers can be used.
