You can right click and duplicate (Alt+Insert) a collection in the Collection Library to create an identical collection and then make any changes you want. You won't be able to modify anything managed by PDQ. If you found a way to it would likely be wiped out on the next software update.
Are you looking to automate the modification of existing user-created collection(s) in PDQ Inventory based on changes in user-created collections in PDQ Deploy? If so, it's possible with PowerShell with the not-supported but functional editing of the Inventory/Deploy databases.
Recently worked through a similar need where manufacturer BIOS updates are downloaded with a combination of PowerShell/browser user JavaScript and then PowerShell is used to check the updates for new versions and update Inventory/Deploy accordingly.
I recommend using Custom Variables instead, if possible. You should only need to edit the database if you're adding or deleting Filters. You can update Custom Variables with the following command:
Where are there command line options for Inventory listed? Custom variables would be a cleaner option.
You have to use the Help command. Unfortunately, the documentation doesn't cover the CLI very much.
Excellent. Thanks!
