The current docs for https://developer.apple.com/documentation/devicemanagement/dnssettings state that the encrypted DNS setting is supported on the device channel for shared IPad

Device Channel
iOS, macOS, Shared iPad

but under
Allow Multiple Payloads
iOS, macOS

shared IPad is not listed.

BUT if you go to the Shared IPad Payload list

https://support.apple.com/en-gb/guide/mdm/mdm05daf6e79/web

DNS Settings is listed as device, combined, and multiple.

Combined
Multiple

Which doc is correct?

Yes, you can have multiple payloads installed on the device, but they can only be active at the same time if the domains they apply to don’t overlap. For instance, you can have one active that handles apple.com traffic and one active that handles example.com traffic, but you can’t have two that get all device traffic active at the same time.
