maikwinter 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_name

when 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!
