Each validation rule makes sense on its own, but together they sometimes block valid record updates. Users hit errors they don’t understand, especially during automated updates. It feels like rules conflict indirectly. I want to understand why this happens.
Validation rules are evaluated independently but enforced together. When multiple rules assume different contexts, edge cases appear. Automation-triggered updates often expose these conflicts.
The solution is consolidating logic where possible and documenting rule intent clearly.
Takeaway: Validation rules should be designed as a system, not in isolation
