Edge Group Policy BUG with New TAB PAGE - RECOMMENDED is getting ENFORCED and not changeable.
Hi Kelly,
Thanks for pointing out the documentation has been updated for this policy. It looks like there is more than one thread for this issue:
Users not allowed to change Recommenced Policy - Microsoft Tech Community
The wording of the documentation ("currently") makes it sound like this is still a temporary bug that will be fixed eventually. I have a few vocal users that would love to change their new tab page to something other than what I'm setting in policy. Even if there's no ETA, is a fix for this still in the works?

AndrewSAIF Hi Andrew! I will check with the team if there are any future plans to change the behavior, though it might be after the holidays before I can get some information. We'll follow up if we can get any insights. Thanks!

Hi Everyone! Just wanted to reach out and let you know the team is currently investigating additional on startup capabilities. This would allow users to have more flexibility and hopefully address some of your concerns. Currently there is no ETA but it is something on our roadmap. Thanks!

Hi Kelly, just wondering if there was any update on this issue yet, looks like this issue has come up in a number of different places:
Users not allowed to change Recommenced Policy - Microsoft Tech Community

And probably more, I didn't look very hard.
I want to be able to provide my Org a default and recommended setting, but allow them to change it if their needs are different. This must be possible since all of the other "users can override" options seem to work just fine!
Thanks.
