Function Set-SPRListFieldValue { <# .SYNOPSIS Updates columns to new valus in a SharePoint list. .DESCRIPTION Updates columns to new valus in a SharePoint list. .PARAMETER Value The new value .PARAMETER Column List of specific column(s) to be updated. .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 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 Get-SPRListItem -List Grades | Where LastName -match LeMaire | Set-SPRListFieldValue -Column Grade -Value A Changes Grade to A for all items matching LastName LeMaire in the Grades list 😏.
