What happens if 2 event based rules fire at the same time and assign different values to the same eVar?

Hey I am doing a tagging audit and found that on the site 2 event based rules fired at the same time when click on a button, and they are assigning 2 different values A and B to the same eVar? What will be the outcome of this eVar report? Are both values A and B captured and reflected in the eVar report? Thanks!

Correct. Only the most recent value would end up in the image request, meaning the first value never makes it to Adobe data collection servers.

the rules will fire one after another however and the evar will get first assigned A followed by B and be will persist.

In such cases, the data sequence of the rule plays a key role.

Thank you for the reply. In such case, value A will be overwritten by value B and won't appear in the report? Is it correct?
