Hi, community!

I'm using this policy in order to audit blob versioning:

{
  "properties": {
    "displayName": "Custom: Configure your Storage account to enable blob versioning",
    "policyType": "Custom",
    "mode": "Indexed",
    "description": "You can enable Blob storage versioning to automatically maintain previous versions of an object. When blob versioning is enabled, you can access earlier versions of a blob to recover your data if it's modified or deleted.",
    "metadata": {
      "version": "1.0.0",
      "category": "Storage"
    },
    "version": "1.0.0",
    "parameters": {},
    "policyRule": {
      "if": {
        "allOf": [
          {
            "field": "type",
            "equals": "Microsoft.Storage/storageAccounts/blobServices"
          },
          {
            "anyOf": [
              {
                "allOf": [
                  {
                    "value": "[requestContext().apiVersion]",
                    "less": "2019-10-10"
                  },
                  {
                    "field": "Microsoft.Storage/storageAccounts/blobServices/isVersioningEnabled",
                    "exists": "true"
                  }
                ]
              },
              {
                "field": "Microsoft.Storage/storageAccounts/blobServices/isVersioningEnabled",
                "equals": "false"
              }
            ]
          }
        ]
      },
      "then": {
        "effect": "${effect}"
      }
    }
  },
  "versions": [
    "1.0.0"
  ]
}

But in Azure Portal Policy Compliance I do not see any compliant/non-compliant resources.
I tried to use Microsoft.Storage/storageAccounts type - throws error about type mismatch.

Other policies that are related to Microsoft.Storage/storageAccounts type - showing all storage accounts and compliant/non-compliant ones, but Microsoft.Storage/storageAccounts/blobServices - not. Is it a feature or a bug? And how I can see whicg storage accounts have VersioningEnabled?

    Try changing mode to All instead of Indexed. Also increase the API version. This one is not found on the docs.
