How to use Powershell to import a runbook and set runtime version to 7.1?

Question

How to use Powershell to import a runbook and set runtime version to 7.1?

Mark 6

I can successfully import a Powershell Runbook to Azure but it sets the runtime version to 5.1 and I need 7.1 because of system managed identity....

$params = @{
AutomationAccountName = 'my-managed-automaton'
Name = 'uploaded-runbook'
ResourceGroupName = 'my-automation-rg'
Type = 'PowerShell'
Path = '/runbookpath/startvm.ps1'
}
Import-AzAutomationRunbook @/params

The above works but will set to runtime version to 5.1. How do I make it set runtime version to 7.1?

Hi @Mark ,

I have reached out to our internal Azure Automation product team to learn if there is a feature to update the runtime version of already existing runbooks with runtime version as 5.1. Will keep you updated as I hear more information.

Hi @Mark ,

Here is an Update: Setting runtime version via API changes are not yet implemented. This is part of the GA backlog and the tentative ETA is moved to Q4 CY22 as service is undergoing some of the major architecture level changes.

Could we please get an update on this? Q4 CY22 has come and gone, and we're in Q3 CY23.
