Enabling and Disabling Rules
When you create a rule, the rule is automatically enabled. This means that the rule is used when creating objects of the specified type in the context where the rule was created or in any child context.
Only one rule for a specified object type in the current context can be enabled.
Use the Enable and Disable actions from the corresponding row in the Object Initialization Rules table to enable or disable each rule. If an existing rule for the specified object type is enabled in the current context and you attempt to enable another the rule for the same object type, an error is returned; you must disable or delete the current rule before enabling or creating a new one for the object type.
