"Android Security Patch Level" in Compliance Policies & Filters

Feature Request: Date Operators (Older Than) for "Android Security Patch Level" in Compliance Policies & Filters

  • Problem: Currently, the property Android Security Patch Level is treated as a String in Compliance Policies and Virtual Groups. Users only have operators like "Equals", "Contains", or "Starts With".

  • Requirement: Administrators need to set automated compliance rules based on the age of the patch (e.g., "Block devices with Security Patch older than 60 days").

  • Current Limitations:

    • Text filters (e.g., "does not start with 2026") require manual maintenance every month/year.

    • Workarounds using Scripts (to write os.securityPatchLevel into a Custom Attribute of type Date) are often blocked by Android Enterprise restrictions (e.g., on Zebra devices with strict policies), leading to script errors.

  • Goal: Please change the data type of Android Security Patch Level to Date or add a specific compliance criterion "OS Patch Age" that allows numerical comparison.
