Not all policy fields support external references.

If a field has **Yes** in the Reference column (for example, `filetypes`, `bot-defense`, or `signature-sets`), you can replace it in your policy file with its corresponding external reference property (e.g., `filetypeReference`, `botDefenseReference`, `signatureSetsReference`).
