Allow App Catalog to update Microsoft Apps even if MAU is being configured

We are using Jamf with a configuration profile to prevent Microsoft AutoUpdate from being utilised with Microsoft Apps. We have the below configuration profile (com.microsoft.autoupdate2) restricting MAU to ‘Manual’ so that it doesn’t prompt or allow users to interact.

<dict><key>IgnoreUIOpenAfterInstall</key><true/> <key>AcknowledgedDataCollectionPolicy</key><string>RequiredDataOnly</string> <key>HowToCheck</key><string>Manual</string><key>ChannelName</key> <string>Current</string><key>EnableCheckForUpdatesButton</key><false/></dict>

This sufficed until now as we are Jamf Apps to manage the application updates with a 3 day defferal period, but we would now like to swap to App Catalog for deployment and updating as it’s a better user experience.

Because we have this configuration profile - App Catalog will not take over the updating so I think having a key we can set in the nl.root3.catalog domain to ‘Always update microsoft apps’ or similar would be helpful.
