Support for Inline Child Scripts in PowerShell 7.2 Runbooks

What is the current status of support for inline scripts in Powershell 7.2 runbooks? The current documentation lists inline scripts as "not supported", but it is unclear whether this will change or when it might change. We have several scripts that rely heavily on calling inline scripts, and creating a new job for each child script is not ideal given the existing queue. Are there any plans to add support for inline child scripts in future updates?

Executing child scripts using .\child-runbook.ps1 is not supported. Workaround: Use Start-AutomationRunbook (internal cmdlet) or Start-AzAutomationRunbook (from Az.Automation module) to start another runbook from parent runbook.

    Hi @Guilherme Noronha ,

    Currently it's part of backlog and we don't have any ETA or timelines at this point.
