Block on Firewall feature not working for Cisco Meraki MX

We have a couple of SIEM/XDR solutions and the Cisco Meraki MX is forwarding logs to both the solutions. When malicious IPs are found, we have playbooks in those solutions to block the IPs on the firewall. However this action is erroring out in both the solutions. The error received is "Cannot override L3 firewall rules on a network bound to a template - the firewall rules are inherited from the template." We have enabled Configuration templates in Cisco Meraki MX appliance and applied to our corporate network(firewall rules have been defined inside the template) which is a recommended practice in Meraki. Is there any workaround for this issue? Like, can we create firewall rules without binding to a template to solve this issue? Couldn't find any discussion on this issue anywhere on the web. Thank you.

 

Regards,

Anand

Kind of a big deal

Guess this post can help you further. You'll have to apply to he block to the network template, not the network itself.
