Office for Mac - Deploy Workgroup Template Path via Configuration Profile?

Hello,

 

I'm struggling to find a way (if there is one) to deploy via Configuration Profile via Jamf Pro the path to the Workgroup Templates.

This setting normally can be found into (for example) Word:

Preferences > File Locations > Set "Workgroup templates" 

I checked the com.microsoft.office.plist file, after changing the path into Word the file gets updated (the date / time updates), though there is no key in the plist file that tells me it's related to this kind of setting.

 

Any help is appreciated.

Thank you

defaults read com.microsoft.office.plist DocsUICustomWorkgroupTemplatesLocationKey

The Plist is located in the user's ~/Library/Preferences folder

Looks like you could potentially dump the templates directly into the following path as well.

/Users/”Username”/Library/Group\ Containers/UBF8T346G9.Office/User\ Content.localized/Templates.localized
