Bad results with WebAppInstallForceList
I'm trying Canary v96 with the new attributes for the WebAppInstallForceList, but it's failing to work. Compact JSON [{"create_desktop_shortcut":true,"custom_icon":{"hash":"BD7ED44623036E672...

Coert Kastelein Hi! Quick update from our developers, the custom_name and custom_icon is currently only available on ChromeOS. More information here: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1266169
We are working to update our policy documentation. Thanks!

Oct 25, 2021Coert Kastelein Hi! Our developers are investigating.
Couple of questions:
- How is the policy is getting set? Is it via regkey or Intune?
- Is https://portal.mywebsite.com the right URL to use for the repro? Does the issue reproduce with other WebApps?
Thanks!

Through Intune in a Settings Catalog, which is successful.
Registry looks fine as well. In another test with just custom icon:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Edge\WebAppInstallForceList is:
[{"custom_icon":{"url":"https://i.imgur.com/KEaQ6g2.png","hash":"BD7ED44623036E67266D4884B3E5451762D6DB964E651B74BD7AB9955CA55C60"},"default_launch_container":"window","url":"https://youtube.com"}]
It created two start menu items:
One linked to \AppData\Local\Microsoft\Edge SxS\Application\msedge_proxy.exe
other to \Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge\Application\msedge_proxy.exe
I also notice I get different results when I change the sequence of the attributes within the JSON string.
