Disable Chrome Android Phone

My company wants to disable the Chrome browser, I've created a profile and in the custom settings I've set an XML statement:

<characteristic type="com.airwatch.android.androidwork.application" uuid="df2ecf66-3b70-4a8a-baea-14a089b717a2">

<parm name="SuspendedApplicationName" value="Chrome" />

<parm name="SuspendedApplicationId" value="com.android.chrome" />

<parm name="SuspendApps" value="True" />

</characteristic>

This does show Chrome disabled however when the phone is restarted the custom setting no longer works and Chrome can be opened again.

Any ideas on how to keep the custom settings working after restarting the phone.

We are also using it for our work profile and it is working with parameter target

<characteristic uuid="42a755c8-8ff7-48e7-b08f-40f53e2ca5ee" type="com.airwatch.android.androidwork.application" target="1">

<parm name="SuspendedApplicationId" value="com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox,com.google.ar.lens,com.android.chrome,com.google.android.apps.tachyon" />

<parm name="SuspendApps" value="True" />

</characteristic>
