Define the WebApp shortcut name when using WebAppInstallForceList
Microsoftre_bl maikwinter Hello! Our team is currently investigating adding an additional property to help define a shortcut name! It looks like we've had other similar requests for this feature as well.
re_bl In regards to your request to add to Task Bar or pin to Start, I've passed on your feedback to the team. Also, if you haven't had a chance yet, you can also submit your feedback through the browser. ("..." menu > Help and feedback > Send feedback).
We can follow up if we hear any updates from our team!

Microsoftmaikwinter re_bl Hello! We have a modification coming in V89 for the WebAppInstallForceList Policy which will allow you to override the app name.
Here is a link to our updated documentation: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/deployedge/microsoft-edge-policies#webappinstallforcelist
Let us know if there are any questions. Thanks!

Hi Kelly_Y,
I'm on Version 89.0.774.57 (Official build) (64-bit) of Edge and im getting an error:
Schema validation error at "items[0]": Unknown property: override_app_namewhen adding the override_app_name to the WebAppInstallForceList policy, is my build new enough?

KoenEijken Hello! Are you seeing the error in edge://policy? It sounds like you might be running into this https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1185802.
Do you know if the WebApp is still being successfully installed? I can see we have worked planned to update the message in edge://policy to be less confusing.
Thanks!

Hi Kelly,
The app installs, with the https:// name instead of the name I put in the override.
Seems indeed that I need to wait for a newer edge version 🙂
Thanks!
