FAQ​

Q. How to set the UDF name?

A. To set the User Defined Field (UDF) name, please set it under the Setup > Global Settings > User-defined field 18 and set the value as Update M365 Channel so that it can reflect the same name under the devices UDFs.

Q. What happen if we didn't set the user defined field name as Update M365 Channel under global settings?

A. The User-Defined Field X will still get updated with the Update channel value, where X is the UDF number, but the name of the UDFs will show as User-Defined Field X and not as Update M365 Channel.

Note: The script will not break with the Global UDF settings not updated.
