Is there an option like “Clear Activation Lock” for MacOS devices but for the API?

There seems to be for Mobile Devices but I can’t find anything about doing this for MacOS.

 

If there is not currently, do we know if this option will be available down the pipeline?

When you run the API call to wipe a computer from Jamf, it automatically clears the activation lock.  

That’s the only way you can do that.  I have a request in with Apple to make it available to the ABM/ASM API but it’s gotten ZERO traction.
