Expected / Desired Behavior / Question
Trying to create a folder within the picker for a SharePoint list.
Observed Behavior
It appears the folder is created, however it never shows up in the list.
However using PNP Powershell, when you call
get-pnpfolder -ListRootFolder <ListName> | Get-PnPFolderInFolder
All the folders created do show.
If you call
Get-PnpFolder -ListRootFolder Nominations | Get-PnpFolderInFolder -ExcludeSystemFolders
All the folders you have created using the picker do not return.
Additionally when you view the folders on the list inside the picker, it picks up 2 System folders which relate to the Attachments folder, and the ContentType Folder.
Steps to Reproduce
Use the FolderPicker pointing to a list instead of a Document library. Ensure the create folder options is set to true.

Research direction
Start with the FolderPicker entry point and reproduce the issue against a SharePoint list with folder creation enabled, comparing it with a document library. Trace how created folders are listed and how system folders are filtered; done means new folders appear in the list and the Attachments and ContentType folders are excluded.
