Jamf Patching Extension Attribute Issue

Does anyone know of a way to modify the built-in extension attribute for a Patch Management title? The issue I'm seeing is that the one for Jamf Protect is pointing to /Library/Application Support but the application is installed in /Applications, meaning the extension attribute is turning up as blank for all the machines.

If there's no way to modify, is there at least a way to point the Patch Management version collection to a different place?

Any help is appreciated!

@elsmith Go to Settings->Computer management->Extension attributes and find the definition named jamf-patch-jamf-protect. You can open that definition and edit the path there.

That does trigger an error notice in the Patch Management panel for Jamf Protect because the EA has changed, but I don't know if that prevents any Patch policies from working.
