- Will the Company Portal ever reflect the current status of an application on a retry? Currently it just says "Failed to install" and you have to guess if it's pending download, downloading, installing, et cetera.
- In the Company Portal, if you reinstall an app it will not actually run the installer again if the detection criteria is met. Are there any plans to make this function run the installer again regardless of the detection criteria?
- Any plans for quickly cloning configuration profiles and configuration profile assignments?
- Any plans for changing assignments to apps, policies, profiles, and security templates in bulk?
- Any plans to support Windows 11 store apps as a deployment type? Are there any plans to be able to force application updates on applications that are only "Available"? It's a challenge to have optional applications that need to be upgraded but no built-in way of targeting devices where that app was installed.
- Any plans for custom reporting using scripts? We can run scripts right now but it would be nice if there was a way to view the output of the script on a machine-by-machine basis rather than having to dump the output in a storage account. This is useful when you need to poll your fleet for very specific information.
