End-state: I want to use the API to create a macOS update policy with the download only requirement and the preferences and deferal.

But…I made a macOS update policy that included the scheduling so that I can see what the payload looks like to be able to create it through the API but I’m only getting the below back with the install action.

Is the API response suppsoed to give back the other details, e.g. Software Update Preferences and Defer Software Updates. If it’s not coming back through the GET request I presume we can’t use it for a policy creation POST request payload?

@George Thanks. No other questions. Really from the macOS and Windows side just hoping to get more verbose output from the API and ability to configure additional policy settings via the API so that it’s not all required via the UI
