Hello @V4A001. There isn't always a 1:1 relationship between the Azure portal UI and Azure CLI commands and/or parameter availability. I have an inquiry into the az automation account engineering team to confirm that I'm not overlooking something, and I've also created an Azure/azure-cli-extensions GitHub request 8273 to add this capability to the command group.
