Install cached packages with Patch Management

[dpratl]

Hi JAMF nation :)
I couldn't find an answer on this question, so i hope someone of you could help me.

If I populate Patch Management with Packages and create a Update Policy in there I don't have to option to install cached, will it use a cached package or is it re-downloading it? And if possible how can I realize that. (I know, I can create an additional software Policy, but i want to do that within Patch Management)

Thank you

Afraid not - it re-downloads. One of the (several) missing pieces to Patch Management, although I still feel that with its limitations, it is a better option in most instances than the alternatives.

Hi Taylor.Armstrong,

Thank you, that's a pity.

I found this feature request, maybe some more upvotes would be good for it ;)
