Ability to send XML config file or key/value with MDM deployments so that when the Control app is installed, it prepopulates the CW Server URL

We are currently able to deploy Control via our MDM to our iOS devices. However, the end-users have to enter the server URL on first launch. We would like to have the ability to preload in the MDM the XML config file or a key/value combo so that the server URL is loaded upon install.

For example our electronic medical record app allows us to define a key of "serverAddress" with a value of "xxxxx.yyyyyy.com". Once the app is installed, the user is able to quickly launch and run without having to lookup our unique server address.

Got 5000 iOS devices and would make their lives a lot simpler to be able to pre-set this. Also, safer so they do not get phished into inputting something else.

Crazy that this isn't a possibility. Would be way easier to support people if the server address was already filled out.

Thanks, I'll see if I can make it work in Intune.
FYI, might want to hide your username in that second screenshot.

I use a different MDM but have the same/similar app configuration settings.
key: url
type: string
value: https://<mydomain>.screenconnect.com
And this does not work. I am pretty sure I tried this a year ago as well.

Any suggestions?
