Function Update-SPRListItemAuthorEditor { <# .SYNOPSIS Updates author (created by) from a SharePoint list. .DESCRIPTION Updates author (created by) from a SharePoint list. .PARAMETER Username The username of the user. .PARAMETER Column List of specific column(s) to be updated. If no columns are specified, we'll try to figure out which fields to update. .PARAMETER List The human readable list name. So 'My List' as opposed to 'MyList', unless you named it MyList. .PARAMETER Web The human readable web name. So 'My Web' as opposed to 'MyWeb', unless you named it MyWeb. .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 InputObject Allows piping from Get-SPRListItem. .PARAMETER Quiet Do not output new item. Makes imports faster; useful for automated imports. .PARAMETER UserObject Pass a pre-resolved userobject. .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 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 $updates = Import-CliXml -Path C:\temp\mylist-updated.xml Get-SPRListItem -List 'My List' -Site intranet.ad.local | Update-SPRListItemAuthorEditor -UpdateObject $updates Update 'My List' from modified rows contained within C:\temp\mylist-updated.xml Prompts for confirmation. Uses ID to compare author. .EXAMPLE $updates = Import-CliXml -Path C:\temp\mylist-updated.xml Get-SPRListItem -List 'My List' -Site intranet.ad.local | Update-SPRListItemAuthorEditor -UpdateObject $updates -KeyColumn SSN -Confirm:$false Update 'My List' from modified rows contained within C:\temp\mylist-updated.xml Does not prompt for confirmation. Uses SSN to compare author. #> [CmdletBinding(SupportsShouldProcess, ConfirmImpact = 'High')] param ( [Parameter(Position = 0, HelpMessage = "Human-readble SharePoint list name")] [string[]]$List, [Parameter(Position = 1, HelpMessage = "Human-readble SharePoint web name")] [string[]]$Web, [Parameter(Position = 2, HelpMessage = "SharePoint Site Collection")] [string]$Site, [PSCredential]$Credential, [ValidateSet("Author", "Editor")] [string[]]$Column = @("Author", "Editor"), [string]$Username, [parameter(ValueFromPipeline)] [object[]]$InputObject, [Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.User]$UserObject, [switch]$Quiet, [switch]$EnableException ) begin { $script:updates = @() function Update-Row { [cmdletbinding()] param ( [object[]]$Row, [string[]]$ColumnNames, [object]$UserObject ) $newuser = "{0};#{1}" -f $UserObject.Id, $UserObject.LoginName foreach ($currentrow in $row) { $runupdate = $false foreach ($fieldname in $ColumnNames) { if (($currentrow.ListItem[$fieldname].Id) -ne $UserObject.Id) { Write-PSFMessage -Level Debug -Message "Updating $fieldname setting to $UserObject" $runupdate = $true if ($fieldname -eq "Author") { #IMPORTANT: Must be same name to get author updated $currentrow.ListItem["Author"] = $newuser $currentrow.ListItem["Editor"] = $newuser $currentrow.ListItem.Update() } else { $currentrow.ListItem[$fieldname] = $newuser $currentrow.ListItem.Update() } } } } if ($runupdate) { $script:updates += $currentrow } } } process { if (-not $InputObject) { if ($Site) { $InputObject = Get-SPRListItem -Site $Site -Credential $Credential -List $List -Web $Web } elseif ($script:spsite) { $InputObject = Get-SPRListItem -List $List -Web $Web } else { Stop-PSFFunction -EnableException:$EnableException -Message "You must specify Site and List pipe in results from Get-SPRList" return } } if (-not $InputObject) { Stop-PSFFunction -EnableException:$EnableException -Message "No records to update." return } if ($InputObject -is [Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.List]) { $InputObject = $InputObject | Get-SPRListItem } foreach ($item in $InputObject) { if (-not $item.ListObject) { Stop-PSFFunction -EnableException:$EnableException -Message "Invalid InputObject" -Continue } $thislist = $item.ListObject if (-not $UserObject) { try { $UserObject = Get-SPRUser -Username $Username } catch { Stop-PSFFunction -EnableException:$EnableException -Message "Failure" -ErrorRecord $_ continue } } if ((Test-PSFShouldProcess -PSCmdlet $PSCmdlet -Target $thislist.Context.Url -Action "Updating record on $($thislist.Title), changing $Column to $Username")) { try { Update-Row -Row $item -ColumnNames $Column -UserObject $UserObject } catch { Stop-PSFFunction -EnableException:$EnableException -Message "Failure" -ErrorRecord $_ -Continue } } } } end { if ($script:updates.Id) { Write-PSFMessage -Level Debug -Message "Executing ExecuteQuery" $script:spsite.ExecuteQuery() if (-not $Quiet) { foreach ($listitem in $script:updates) { Get-SPRListItem -Web $Web -List $listitem.ListObject.Title -Id $listitem.ListItem.Id } } } else { Write-PSFMessage -Level Verbose -Message "Nothing to update" } } } |
