Explanation

Data Policies in ServiceNow are server-side rules that enforce data integrity across all entry points - the UI, Import Sets, and Web Services. Because they run on the server, they cannot be bypassed by client-side manipulation. Although a Data Policy can optionally be converted to a Client Script for immediate UI feedback, its default and authoritative enforcement point is always the server.
