What it means
WebDAV: the action failed because it depended on another action in the same request that failed.
Common causes
- One operation in a PROPPATCH or batch failed, so the rest are rolled back
How to fix it
As a client or visitor
Find the primary failure in the multistatus response and fix it first.
