Research direction

Start with the Add-PnPDataRowsToSiteTemplate command documented in sharepoint/sharepoint-ps/sharepoint-pnp/Add-PnPDataRowsToSiteTemplate.md, then reproduce the flow using a template from Get-PnPSiteTemplate. Compare token handling for site groups with token handling when adding data rows. Done means the same engine tokens are resolved consistently when creating a new site.

Description

When using Get-PnPSiteTemplate, in the template, tokens are used to make the sitegroups more generic :

  • {groupsitetitle}
  • {groupsitename}
  • {associatedownergroupid}
  • ...

Works like a charm, however those tokens are not used when adding datarows with Add-PnPDataRowsToSiteTemplate to the same template, making it inconsistent and unusable when creating a new site.
