Issues with Endpoint Security and policies with Administrative Templates

Apologies if this is known/expected behavior, but figured I should report this issue in case it is an actual problem, or I'm just not doing something right/am missing needed rights or something.

In my environment I am working with two tenants, one Production and one QA, and typically build out policies in QA tenant, and need to export from there, and then import to Prod. Finding/using your tool was really the only way to really make that feasible, so thanks a bunch.

I am running into some issues though:

1. If a specific policy backed up from Settings Catalog section contains Administrative Template items, I can't see that policy at all in the list when attempting to import the backed-up QA items into the Prod tenant.

2. Endpoint Security: Nothing shows in the Endpoint Security tab at all. Policies such as LAPS, Firewall, and BitLocker configured in their respective Endpoint Security sections in Intune do seem to show in Settings Catalog as exportable items, but likewise are not visible when attempting to do an import of those backed up files - whether that be into the other tenant or back into the same one.

For Settings Catalog items containing Administrative Templates I can always just backup the policy as a JSON in the Intune console and import it that way, but for Endpoint Security items MS seems to not allow export/import in the console, so I end up having to recreate everything from scratch... FW rules are NOT fun to have to replicate manually, and I'm not looking forward to doing that with the Bitlocker policy either. Hoping I'm just doing something wrong and it IS possible to export/import those items, or it's a bug that can be fixed, not simply a "feature" of Intune.
