Since tall flowers are considered two blocks, both halves trigger a loot table when broken. In vanilla, the game gets around this by having the loot tables check (and only drop the flower) if it is a bottom half, meaning if you break a glitched floating top half of a flower it would drop nothing, and you could break a glitched bottom half only (with no top) and it would still drop.
Anyways, I seem to be running into this issue trying to assign custom conditional drops. As you can see in the loot table attached below, I would like the flower to drop it's respective dye instead of itself when broken with a sword. Except, if I do it normal way, the half directly broken passes the check and drops dye, but the other half fails the check (as it was not directly broken with a sword) and drops another tall flower meaning it can be cycled for infinite die XD
This was as close as I could get. It drops the flower as expected if I break either half with my fist, it drops only dye (like i want) when I break the bottom half with a sword, but when i break the top half with a sword it also drops the flower again. If I remove the lower half check and drop at the end, then wouldn't it not drop when broken by hand?
What am I doing wrong?

mined:rose_bush/... and every time the value is greater than 0, check if the player holds a sword and give the items based on this. Not really a clean solution sadly :(
