Additional context
Workaround is to add some fake property to folder facet
Import-Module Microsoft.Graph.Files
$params = @{
name = "New Folder"
folder = @{
x = 'x'
}
"@microsoft.graph.conflictBehavior" = "rename"
}
New-MgDriveItemChild -DriveId $driveId -DriveItemId $driveItemId -BodyParameter $params
Contributor guide
First steps
- Read the whole issue, then the project's contributing guide.
- Comment on the issue to say you are picking it up — it saves two people doing the same work.
- Fork the repository and make your change on a branch.
- Open a pull request that references the issue number.
Research direction
Start with the New-MgDriveItemChild cmdlet and inspect how its BodyParameter is serialized into the HTTP request. Compare the empty folder facet with the workaround that adds x; done means the folder facet is included without a fake property and folder creation succeeds.
