This adjective appears mostly in historical and legal contexts to describe policies and practices—'conscriptional laws' made it clear the state could demand its citizens' lives without choice.
As an adjective form of conscription, it inherits the same gendered history of military obligation as a male civic duty.
Specify context: 'conscriptional policy' should clarify whether it applies gender-equally or reflects historically male-centered systems.
