When migrating data via the Microsoft Graph API in OneDrive, is it possible to disable the "keep approval settings" property?

Question

Currently, the API automatically enables the "Keep Approval Settings" property during data migration, which prevents users from syncing cloud data to their local machines via the OneDrive Client App.

This issue arises because the preserved approval settings may conflict with local synchronization processes, causing the sync operation to fail or behave unexpectedly. Resolving this would require an option to disable the "Keep Approval Settings" property during migration.
