"--sameos" option downloading a newer version of macOS?

[PhillyPhoto]

Here's my command I'm running in Jamf:

/Library/Management/erase-install/erase-install.sh --reinstall --sameos --update --min-drive-space=40 --current-user --no-fs --rebootdelay=300

Despite using "--sameos" it only sees Ventura available when running Monterey:

I guess --update is trumping --sameos. I'll take a look at it. In the meantime I would suggest to use --os=12 instead of --sameos.

Once I saw this, I switched it back to --os=12/13/etc. Thanks for the confirmation!
