Restrictions profile affecting download of purchased apps

An interesting find I am sharing in hope to help others.
When you push out a restriction profile for iOS, while you may have unchecked the option to require an iTunes password for every purchases, if you set an age restriction in the Media Content tab for apps such as 12+ etc, it will by default cancel that option and the device will switch from the default 15 min to immediately for the password prompt and it can be a pain if you have to download many apps and enter the password each time.

We just noticed this too. Is this a JAMF issue or Apple?

Thank you for posting this. This was somewhat maddening to me, and I had not tracked down the issue. Knowing this will make our deployment much smoother.
