Research direction

Start with the New-MgSiteListItem entry point and reproduce the POST to /sites/{site-id}/lists/{list-id}/items using the payload shown, then compare it with a request that omits Website. Done means a list item containing a hyperlinkOrPicture field can be created without the reported 500 generalException.

Description

Status: Needs Investigation
Describe the bug

Playing around to test the fix for New-MgSiteList, I created a list as follows:

$params = @{
displayName = "Books"
columns = @(
@{
name = "Author"
text = @{ texttype = "plain | richtext" }
}
@{
name = "PageCount"
number = @{ displayas = "number | percentage" }
}
@{
name = "Website"
hyperlinkOrPicture = @{ isPicture = "false" }
}

)
list = @{
	template = "genericList"
}

}

I can add items to the list with SharePoint Online. But when I attempt to add an item with New-MgSiteListItem, it barfs over the website field (the call works if the Website field is omitted).

$NewItemParameters = @{
fields = @{
Title = 'PowerShell SDK'
Author0 = 'John Smith'
PageCount = '250'
Website = 'https://books.com/joy'
}
}

$NewItem = New-MgSiteListItem -SiteId $site.Id -ListId $List.Id -BodyParameter $NewItemParameters
