Network Intent Creation in auto mode currently enforces critical variables during device matching without exception, causing any device whose data does not align with those critical variables to be excluded from decoding and replication. There is no setting available today to relax this enforcement, which affects scenarios such as configuration drift checks where strict critical-variable matching is not desired and results in member Intents not being created for excluded devices. This enhancement would introduce an option to enable or disable critical-variable enforcement when running Network Intent Creation in auto mode. Customers would gain the flexibility to process and replicate devices that would otherwise be excluded due to critical-variable mismatches, improving coverage for use cases like configuration drift monitoring while preserving stricter matching where it remains desired.
