Hello team,

I need assistance with autolabeling a document property, specifically "MSIP_Label_04ba60fd-3157-416f-8451-1ef50ddef0c8_Name" with a text value named - "Footer". This property is not present in the SharePoint schema because the label GUID "04ba60fd-3157-416f-8451-1ef50ddef0c8" belongs to a different tenant due to a OneDrive documents migration. Is there a way to create a new management property in the new tenant, to target this property and value in the autolabeling policy?

Thank you!

    • Test by searching for documents containing the value "Footer" in the new attribute.

    3. Create an Auto-labeling Policy
