I have a fuzzy rule for inidividual but still get this error


I realise I am not clear (dont think doc is) on how if there is more than one individual rule are they combined in weight?
How can I have two default rules for individual?

We changed the rules to allow new contacts to be created for multiple registrations. However when saving a record this message (Fuzzy does not exist appears).

Appreciate some pointers on the aggregation or not of weights and whether or not the presentation backend on FInd and Merge Dupes is the order of checking or whether it is default only.

I have removed the error by shifting the rules around - thanks! - but I am still confused by the admin screen.

1. ensure that one of the fuzzy rules (and also one of the strict rules) is the default

Out of the box each type seems to have one strict and one fuzzy rule as default.
I have four rules for individuals  (because I wanted the admin to have different ways of finding dupes)
3 of these are listed as default

2. only one rule is applied

Which rule is applied? The 1st,2nd or 3rd default strict or the default fuzzy? If you have more than one default strict or fuzzy which rule is processed? The highest on screen,ie the first default rule as ordered on screeen?

any more thoughts welcome
