Description

I'm trying to update a field via a provisioning template but when i try to execute the cmdlet the functionality states the following:
WARNING: Field (1bf8357b-6aa3-4e39-9d7d-c59af4dea234) exists in list (b808e6ab-0123-42b6-9b81-9779566ccc38) but is of different type. Skipping field.

I was expecting that the field was updated to the new field type.
How can i invoke on the delta functionality of the pnp provisioning templates?

I updated the version number of the template but this doesn't do a thing i guess?

Research direction

Start with the Invoke-PnPSiteTemplate cmdlet and the provisioning-template delta behavior described in the report. Reproduce the warning using the supplied field and list IDs, then compare the existing and requested field types. Done means establishing whether changing a field type is supported and documenting or correcting the resulting behavior.
