Hello ChrisJ_NZ,
This is a very special case!
How many devices are we talking about?
Have you look into create a profile via Apple Configurator2 (Only for supervised iOS)?
There are several payload where you could customize payload/settings from the device level, and after you customize the profile, then you can upload it to intune.

Hi Shady,
Yes it is a bit unique. Currently around 55-60 devices but I do have the advantage of an on-site IT manager to micro manage the devices as well but as they are geographically dispersed that is also a challenge. I think the best option I have come up with is to create an update profile for each iOS update and then assign the devices to that. From my testing with 5 devices the update will not start to install unless the device is idle but as the on-site manager can add devices to that profile then he will at least have some control over it.
