I have been testing this feature for my clients. After waiting for a few weeks now, for an automatic update, I tried to trigger the underlying scheduled task script manually.

The Script stops after a few seconds because there is no value set in automaticupgrade.desiredversion. If I look up the value manually, it is not set.
How does this value get set? What triggers an update of that value?
Would appreciate if somebody in the tech community would give me some guidance.
