Set-PnPDefaultColumnValues

[aefruswg]

Hey all,

This might be a bit of an odd question but I'm hoping someone can give us a hand. My org has a lot of processes built in Python and our dev team is trying to write something to interact with a Sharepoint site which involves setting default column values. Everything they've tried has not worked, so I volunteered to step in and write the process using PnP. PnP works perfectly for what we need for the initial phase, but isn't sustainable for the long term goals of the project.

The only thing missing from doing this in Python is being able to set default column values. We were hoping someone would be able to articulate what calls Set-PnPDefaultColumnValues is making - presumably to Graph - so we can replicate in Python. I'm not trying to reverse engineer PnP or anything. We're just stuck in a logjam and are looking for solutions. I don't know enough about Python myself to help my dev coworker troubleshoot.

Apologies in advance if this isn't allowed and thanks in advance for any help.

PnP.PowerShell is open source. The code for Set-PnPDefaultColumnValues is here. Hopefully that helps.

I honestly have no idea how I wasn't able to reach that page. I clicked on the powershell folder from the root of the repo and was brought to a 404 page. Thanks so much for the direct link.

Hi, have you been able to solve this in python? I'm running into the same issue, but unfortunately know to little PnP to decode the source code. Hopefully you can help me (and others)!

Unfortunately no. We ended up making two processes that run side by side, one in Python and one using PnP.
