Managing Share, copy and paste in group policy

Hi


The 'Link' format under the 'Share, Copy and Paste' section (edge://settings/shareCopyPaste) does not work for us generally, so we'd like to set the default to 'Plain Text', but still allow users to switch back to the 'Link' format if they feel strongly about it. Unfortunately, setting it one way or the other in GPO, greys the setting out and prevents users changing it, which isn't too useful.

 

Ideally there should be an option under 'Microsoft Edge - Default Settings (users can override)'.

 

Please advise.

    DeltaWasp Hello!  Just to confirm, you want to use the ConfigureFriendlyURLFormat policy 

    https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/deployedge/microsoft-edge-policies#configurefriendlyurlformat but would like the ability to configure as "Recommended" so individual users can change the setting based upon their preference.  Is this correct?  

     

    If you haven't had a chance yet, can you also please submit this feature request through the browser? ("..." menu > Help and feedback > Send feedback)

     

    Thanks!

      Hi Kelly, that is correct. I have submitted a feature request, is there a way to keep track of it?
