NewTabPageManagedQuickLinks (Group Policy)
I just discovered that NewTabPageManagedQuickLinks has a max value of 3. Meaning if I try to pin more than 3 website it errors. Any reason why? This isn't mentioned anywhere in the documentation.

Also, as a suggestion. I think we should be allowed to configure an XML file path instead of having the use a single line format.
Having to use single line is a little annoying
{ "url": "https://www.contoso.com", "title": "Contoso Portal", "pinned": true }, { "url": "https://www.office.com/", "pinned": true, "title": "Office" } ]Compared to an XML file

ightNOWboy Hi! Using the policy you can only configure up to 3 links. Here is our policy documentation: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/deployedge/microsoft-edge-policies#newtabpagemanagedquicklinks
Thanks!

WC_KStill I can confirm this is an issue.
I even tried with shorter URL's and skipped "pinned" values to see if the registry key length mattered, but even this fails with 4 entries:
[{"url": "https://a.com", "title": "A"},{"url": "https://b.com", "title": "B"},{"url": "https://c.com", "title": "C"},{"url": "https://d.com", "title": "D"}]I guess we'll never need more than 3 sites.
