Any plans of integrating asking the user for a Bitlocker pre-boot PIN in the device prep process?

    Could you clarify the flow you're thinking of?  It's not clear what "pre-boot" PIN here means.

      Pre-boot PIN: A PIN you need to provide before Windows actually can start. As this is user-defined, solutions like this one here are used quite often: https://oliverkieselbach.com/2019/08/02/how-to-enable-pre-boot-bitlocker-startup-pin-on-windows-with-intune/

        Do you mean providing a path for the interactive user to configure a new pre-boot authenticator (PBA aka BitLocker PIN) during the Autopilot process?

        Or, do you mean having BitLocker enabled and protecting the system volume during Autopilot so that the user has to enter the PBA during Autopilot to unlock the volume?
