Exclude certain URLs from being blocked by wAF/Frontdoor azure

Question

Hello,
we need to exclude a certain Paths from being checked by WAF.
A certain policy rule is blocking our normal traffic to a particular webpage within our site.
We dont want to disable the rule to the whole site, but to only certain pages within the site
Site: https://xxx.yyy.com and the exception would be for ex related to: POST URL: https://xxx.yyy.com/ZZZ

@Anonymous , This should be possible with AFD WAF exclusion lists. WAF exclusion lists allow you to omit certain request attributes from a WAF evaluation. A common example is Active Directory inserted tokens that are used for authentication or password fields. Such attributes are prone to contain special characters that may trigger a false positive from the WAF rules.

Have a look at this example for clear understanding.
