A Text File rule has three key parts:

Advanced featureThe list of Windows file types that you can enter here is defined through a standard map value rule named Rule-File-Text.RuleFileTextTypes. You can add to this list by overriding that rule. B-15904

Rule resolution

FFTX When searching for text file rules, the system filters candidate rules based on a requestor's RuleSet list of RuleSets and versions.

Time-qualified and circumstance-qualified rule resolution features are not available for text file rules. The class hierarchy is not relevant to rule resolution of text file rules.
