I have a question regarding the extensionproperties. In this code block you create a new property and then read it. When you read it, you select it using 'extension_GUID_propertyName'. Is the GUID in this ID the App ID of the app holding the property?

What if I have an extension property but I'm not sure about the name, is there some way to read all the extension properties from a given App?

Running Get-MgDirectoryObjectAvailableExtensionProperty will give you all the Directory Extensions that exist across all apps in the tenant.

and yes, the AppId is listed in the extension property's name.
