I would like to update the Lock Duration for messages on my Service Bus Queue, but I cannot find an option in the Azure Portal and other forum posts/docs noting the location. I am aware of the Azure CLI method to do so, but I would prefer to do it in the portal if able. Thanks

    @Kevin Flynn ,

    Welcome to Microsoft Q&A Platform!

    Thanks for reaching out.

    Thank you for reaching out. You can update the Lock Duration for Service Bus Queue Messages directly in the Azure Portal. Here’s how you can do it:

    1. Navigate to your Service Bus namespace: Go to the Azure Portal and select your Service Bus namespace.
    2. Select the Queue: Under the "Entities" section, click on "Queues" and then select the specific queue for which you want to update the lock duration.
    3. Update Lock Duration: In the queue settings, look for the "Message lock duration" property. Click on "Change" next to this property, enter the new value for the lock duration, and then click "OK".

    Please refer the below documentation on the same.

    I was looking right at it all along. It is in the middle of the overview tab on the Service Bus Queue
