Function Add-SPRColumn { <# .SYNOPSIS Adds a column to a SharePoint list. .DESCRIPTION Adds a column to a SharePoint list. .PARAMETER Site The address to the site collection. You can also pass a hostname and it'll figure it out. Don't want to specify the Site or Credential every time? Use Connect-SPRSite to create a reusable connection. See Get-Help Connect-SPRsite for more information. .PARAMETER Credential Provide alternative credentials to the site collection. Otherwise, it will use default credentials. .PARAMETER List The human readable list name. So 'My List' as opposed to 'MyList', unless you named it MyList. .PARAMETER ColumnName The column name. .PARAMETER DisplayName The column display name. .PARAMETER Type The column datatype. .PARAMETER Description The column description. .PARAMETER Xml This commands builds up the XML for AddFieldAsXml. If you want to override that and just pass an xml command, use this parameter. See this site for examples: https://karinebosch.wordpress.com/my-articles/creating-fields-using-csom/ .PARAMETER Default Sets the default value of the column. .PARAMETER DoNotAddToDefaultView By default, the newly added column will be added to the default view. Use this parameter to prevent this. .PARAMETER FieldOption The Field Options for the column. This parameter has auto-complete for your convenience. .PARAMETER WhatIf If this switch is enabled, no actions are performed but informational messages will be displayed that explain what would happen if the command were to run. .PARAMETER Confirm If this switch is enabled, you will be prompted for confirmation before executing any operations that change state. .PARAMETER InputObject Allows piping from Get-SPRList .PARAMETER EnableException By default, when something goes wrong we try to catch it, interpret it and give you a friendly warning message. This avoids overwhelming you with "sea of red" exceptions, but is inconvenient because it basically disables advanced scripting. Using this switch turns this "nice by default" feature off and enables you to catch exceptions with your own try/catch. .EXAMPLE Connect-SPRSite -Site intranet.ad.local Add-SPRColumn -List 'My List' -ColumnName TestColumn -Description "One column" Adds a text column named TestColumn to 'My List' on intranet.ad.local .EXAMPLE Add-SPRColumn -Site intranet.ad.local -List 'My List' -Credential ad\user -ColumnName TestColumn Adds a text column named TestColumn to 'My List' on intranet.ad.local and logs into the site collection as ad\user. .EXAMPLE Add-SPRColumn -Site intranet.ad.local -List List1 -ColumnName Age -Default 40 -Type Integer Adds a number column named Age to List1 on intranet.ad.local and sets the default value to 40s. .EXAMPLE $xml = "<Field Type='URL' Name='EmployeePicture' StaticName='EmployeePicture' DisplayName='Employee Picture' Format='Image'/>" Get-SPRList -List List1 -Site intranet.ad.local | Add-SPRColumn -Xml $xml Adds a column named EmployeePicture with the URL datatype to List1 on intranet.ad.local #> [CmdletBinding(SupportsShouldProcess)] param ( [Parameter(Position = 0, HelpMessage = "Human-readble SharePoint list name")] [string]$List, [string]$ColumnName, [string]$DisplayName, [string]$Type = "Text", [string]$Description, [string]$Xml, [string]$Default, [switch]$DoNotAddToDefaultView, [ValidateSet("DefaultValue", "AddToDefaultContentType", "AddToNoContentType", "AddToAllContentTypes", "AddFieldInternalNameHint", "AddFieldToDefaultView", "AddFieldCheckDisplayName")] [string[]]$FieldOption = "AddFieldInternalNameHint", [Parameter(HelpMessage = "SharePoint Site Collection")] [string]$Site, [PSCredential]$Credential, [parameter(ValueFromPipeline)] [object]$InputObject, [switch]$EnableException ) begin { if (-not $DisplayName) { $DisplayName = $ColumnName } $addtodefaultlist = $DoNotAddToDefaultView -eq $false } process { if (-not $ColumnName -and -not $Xml) { Stop-PSFFunction -EnableException:$EnableException -Message "You must specify ColumnName or Xml" return } if ($Xml -and $Default) { Stop-PSFFunction -EnableException:$EnableException -Message "You cannot specify Xml and Default.
