besides just checking the rules https://ideas.patchmypc.com/ideas/PATCHMYPC-I-191, there might be situations, where you actually want to change the rules.
I do understand, that this might get you (as in 'the administrator changing the rules') in big trouble if doing wrong. That's why I split both ideas.
Thank you — we’ve noted this request. Publisher currently allows administrators to view the applicability and installed rules used for software updates, but it does not provide a supported way to override those catalog-provided rules. We understand this can be useful when vendor metadata does not correctly represent an environment. Any implementation would need safeguards because an incorrect rule could make an update applicable to the wrong devices or prevent required updates from installing.
Hey Justin, wanted to ask about this.
sadly, Dell keeps messing up their update catalog for years and you need to edit almost every single IsInstalled rule to make it actually work as intended. :(
We see the value in this idea, and this has been on our radar internally for a while now! I expect we will get a good number of up-votes from other customers on this idea. We want to get this future added, but it will probably be a matter of what priority it happens in against other feature requests.
