Question:

How are conflicting field dependency rules enforced in Vault?

Answer:

Field Dependency rules that are in conflict with one another are evaluated in a manner so that the rule with the least restrictions is enforced first.

Example:

One rule is dependent on the value of a field and another rule is dependent on the value of a document type, subtype, and classification.

In this case, the first rule is enforced before the second since it is less restrictive. It only evaluates a single field where the other rule evaluates three different levels of classification hierarchy.
