Hello @pardeep_1_kumar 

Both Data Policies and UI Policies help enforce data consistency by controlling field attributes based on specific conditions.

• Data Policies execute server-side logic, ensuring data integrity across all interfaces, including forms, lists, APIs, and imports.
• UI Policies execute client-side logic, dynamically controlling form behavior in real time.

Which Policy Should You Use?

• Refer to the official documentation for a detailed comparison: Data Policy vs. UI Policy to determine the appropriate policy based on your use case.
• Additionally, UI Policies can be converted to Data Policies and vice versa, providing flexibility when adapting to different requirements. For more details, refer to: Convert Data policy to UI policy and Vice versa.

Hope this helps!
