Below is what we currently use to lift the ignore command in Files and Processes.

sudo softwareupdate --reset-ignored

Is there a way to point to a particular ignored command?

For instance, you have Big Sur and the latest 10.15.7 Supplemental update ignored

macOS Big Sur
macOS Catalina 10.15.7 Supplemental Update

I would like to lift the supplemental update however keep Big Sur restricted.

Still looking to see if there is a way to lift one ignore command while leaving another? Anyone have any answers?

@jschank There's nothing built-in. You'd have to write a script to get the current ignore list, delete the items you don't want from it, do the softwareupdate --reset-ignored, then call the softwareupdate --ignore for each of the items you want to continue to ignore.

anybody having issues with using the --reset-ignored command on Mojave with restricting Big Sur?

I run the command to lift the previous restriction of Big Sur and then restart but the restriction pop-up warning i have in my policy still restricts Big Sur from installing.
