lifecycle policy powershell issue

Question

Hi,

I'm would like to ask I did ran the sample powershell script that provided in the following link. So it works to create the lifecycle policy to one of my container part under for my storage account but when i re-apply the script to the same storage account to different container, it will removed the existing lifecycle policy and add-in the new one.

Could you advice how do i apply the powershell script without removing the existing policy??

Regards,
Gary

The only way to update a policy currently with PowerShell is running Set-AzStorageAccountManagementPolicy. This will override any existing rules you had in place so you will need to include your old rules. The easiest way would be to take the current JSON of your policy and add the rules there. You can also easily add a rule or view the current JSON of your rules in the Portal.

I understand this is probably not as easy as it could be and have submitted feedback to the product team on this. I hope the information I provided was helpful. Please let us know if you have further questions or issues and we will be happy to assist.

Apology for late response.

Could you please let us know if Microsoft found a way to apply the lifecycle management policy without overridden the old policy via powershell.
