Developer Options on Android Device

Hi all, I have an Android device enrolled in InTune and I'm trying to enable developer options. This would normally be done by tapping on the build number 7 times, however, when I try it on this device, nothing happens. There's no pop-up or error message, just nothing. I've tested on other identical devices and it works. 
It's got developer options enabled in the configuration policy, compliant in InTune, and was freshly reset/set-up, any ideas why it's not working?

  • The device might be restricted by another policy, even if developer options are allowed in your config profile. Check if there's a Device Restriction policy in Intune that might be blocking it sometimes multiple profiles conflict. Also, make sure the device is fully synced and that no OEM-specific settings (like Knox on Samsung) are overriding the standard Android behavior.

      Thanks for the reply, I checked all configuration and compliance policies, and there is only one restriction policy that is set to have developer settings enabled.
      The device is synced and there is no OEM setting overriding it
