I have this rule in Hazel :

I can then check if it triggers here :

And it does :

And yet, nothing happens :

Even if I force run the rules, nothing changes. Is this a bug?

Do you have other rules? Use the status UI (click the "eye" button). That will show you which rule is actually matching instead of that one.

I only have one other rule (lowercase all files). Which matches well. Clicking the eye button shows that the lowercase rule is matched but what about my other one?

Is there any conflict between them? I think there shouldn't be any.

Yes, there is a conflict. Only one rule can match a folder/file at a time. You need to re-structure your rules to take that into account. You can also use the "Continue" action to force evaluation to continue after a match.
