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.
