What does HTTP status 424 (Failed Dependency) mean?

HTTP_STATUS_LOCKED HTTP_STATUS_TOO_EARLY

HTTP_STATUS_FAILED_DEPENDENCY

It usually appears in a multi-operation request such as PROPPATCH or a batch-style WebDAV update. The failed dependency is reported so the client can find the original error instead of treating 424 as the root cause.

Inspect the complete multistatus response in order and fix the first failing property or resource. Retrying only the dependent operation without correcting the predecessor will repeat the failure.

In WebDAV batch operations, 424 prevents a dependent action from being reported as an independent root failure when an earlier required action already failed. Diagnose the preceding failed operation first. Correcting the dependency can allow later operations to succeed without changing their own resource data or permissions.
