Can you update a script parameter in a policy via API?

[brentac]

For a computer policy that has a script object in it, is it possible to update the script parameters via the API? I found in the classic api documentation (seen below) that you can update some parts of a policy with xml. Would it be possible to update a specific parameter (7 in this case) for a script. Ideally that would be the only thing that would change.

<policy>
    <general>
        <name>Firefox</name>
        <enabled>true</enabled>

Yes, it can be done. What language are you wanting to use? I'm doing it with powershell.

Assuming it's XML that you're using, can you share how you have it set up?

[cbrewer]

Here is a powershell example you can use. Set your jamf server info on lines 4-6. Then you'll want to set the variables on lines 70-74 before the setJamfScriptParam function runs.

Thanks I’ll check this out.

Currently I'm writing all my scripts in bash because I'm very much a novice and that's what has clicked with me the best so far (probably because it’s the most simple from what I have gathered)
