Answer 1

@David Harvie Welcome to Microsoft Q & A Community Forum. Append effect is used to add additional fields to the requested resource during creation or update. When you apply policy which has append effect, it reports the list of resources that are non-complaint but it doesn't modify the resources to make them compliant. Policy with append effect make sure that when new resources or existing resources are updated, then the tag value is added. Same information is documented here.
