One example method includes performing a conversion between a block of a video and a bitstream of the video according to a rule. The rule specifies that whether a syntax flag indicating whether transform skip residual coding is enabled at a video unit level is present in the bitstream is based on values of a first syntax element indicating usage of sign data hiding in the video unit and a second syntax element indicating usage of dependent quantization in the video unit. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A method for processing
