Just covering the bases at this point, you've validated that all of the APs are in fact broadcasting on 6 GHz?

We have a captive portal hosted by a third party.

Maybe, maybe not. Some devices have band and channel size preferences and will hang on to a connection well beyond expectation if a suitable equivalent can't be discovered.
Support for non-PSC channels is coming to AOS 8 soon, check with your account team for more concrete information.
You mention running Enhanced Open, are you using a captive portal or just allowing any connection without any authentication?

So the roaming issues we saw would not have been caused by channel selection.
Is there a timeline for when full support will be available?

Right now that makes zero difference on 6 GHz. Run 80 MHz or 40 MHz, you're still only getting 6 channels because the radio will not run on non-PSC channels. Consider options again once we have proper support for operating at 40 MHz on 6 GHz.

Ok. we have carried out some testing today in another location with AP's at 40Mhz and have had no roaming problems at all. We have noticed that all AP's are in PSC channels so maybe this is why. For the main site we disabled 6Ghz because of the problems so will need to re-enable it out of hours to see where the channel assignments end up. For this main site though, AP density is too high to enable 80Mhz because we are in the UK and would only have 6 available channel groupings.

6 GHz doesn't work correctly with 40 MHz channels at this point, you should let that band operate at 80 MHz to get anything working correctly.
Proper support for 40 MHz, and non-PSC channel assignment, is in the works.

The channel width is 40Mhz.
We have disabled 6Ghz for the moment and will be setting up a test environment tomorrow. Will update with our findings

What about your channel width? When I enabled 6ghz it defaulted to 80-160 mhz, curious if setting it to match your 5ghz band (or just lowered to just use 80) would help.
