[Feature] - Add identifier of the policy to description.

[patrik-stromberg-asterio]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
If there's a need to comply with customers current name standard in policies and want to be able to change the name for the policies. This seems to also break the OIBDeployer.

Describe the solution you'd like
Add a syntax in the description for each policy containing a policy ID or name and version. To be able to match the policies without keeping the policy name as is.

This will be nice the the OIBDeployer case as well.

Hey @patrik-stromberg-tw

So OIBDeployer does technically use regex to match in a situation where just the "OIB" part of the policy name has been changed to their own unique org ID but the rest of the policy name remains the same.

This is something I've been considering for a while for other reasons, it's just frustrating the only available field to do something like this in is the description, which for some policies I'm using for other important information.

Good request though, I'll keep thinking about the best way to handle this.

My two cents.....there could be a CSV file where you could have a match between the original policy ID and the one deployed to the customer, so a compare can be based on that IDs to find the corresponding source policy....if you could be interested guys, i prepared a small script to compare two IntuneManagement's dump, modifying a little bit the CSV structure....the idea was to have a way to compare some customers where i manually created some policies with OIB, with the idea to migrate them without losing some particular configurations that need to be kept.

I’d be interested in the script please. I currently take the OIB and make some slight changes, I append the version number and add info to the description. I deploy this to all tenants and then when I need to tailor to a particular tenant I also append the version and record the changes. I supplement where needed with my own custom policies.

I am trying to work out the most efficient method to upgrade to each new release without impacting end users. Currently I read the release notes to assess impact, export a backup of the tenant, reapply my global changes as needed to the new release and upload this. Then make the tenant specific customisations. I do this all with Intunemamagement which is a great tool, but would like to try using CIPP and some drift management.

That’s great, thanks! If you are happy to make it public I guess you could add to your GitHub?

yes, i need to prepare a little bit of documentation. i actually created a local fork of intunemanagement to create CSV files (documentation) in a way that i can easily use
