Is there a way to skip the "Choose your walllpaper setting" in macOS Sonoma when a new user logs in? We have set a standard desktop background that we want to use across all our computers.

Create a custom profile with the preference domain: com.apple.SetAssistant.managed with this payload.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
<key>SkipWallpaper</key>
<true/>
</dict>
</plist>
This will supress the prompt (and with 14.2 will leave the default wallpaper the same.

I should mention we don't want to use a profile to lock the desktop image across all computers since we have an admin account which uses a different wallpaper. Is there a way to just skip this preference in a Apple Setup Assistant Profile? What are the new Setup Assistant options for Sonoma?

Thank you for sharing the key value. JAMF now needs to add this checkbox to prestage settings.
