May be old news for some but I didn't see any DCR/bugs filed on Microsoft
Connect for this issue since beta so I wanted to bring this up and post
feedback on Connect...
https://connect.microsoft.com/ConfigurationManagervnext/feedback/details/796927/automatically-upgrade-any-superseded-versions-of-this-application-grayed-out-for-device-collection-deployments
We use ConfigMgr to manage our server environment. We ran into an issue where
we were trying to supercede an application and test the deployment however we
cannot remove the "Automatically upgrade any superseded versions of this
application" option during deployment. We are targeting servers (devices) and
not users. We want to test and manage the app upgrade without it being forced
and still be able to take full advantage of the app model.
The only work-around I found thus far was to create the deployment prior to
adding superseded applicaiton(s) to the deployed application. I'm assuming we
should be able to create a deployment using PS/SDK without forcing superseded
applications to be upgraded as another workaround but haven't tried it yet.
