My document library in a SharePoint site has reached threshold limit and because of which I am not able to update number field to remove comma separator.

Is there any way either through PowerShell or something to update number field and remove the comma separator?

Updated: $siteurl = "https://contoso-admin.sharepoint.com/sites/abcsite"

Connect-PnPOnline -Url $siteurl -Interactive

Set-PnPField -List "DMS_MPC" -Identity "DocumentNumber" -Values @{CommaSeparator=$false}

ERROR: enter image description here

Try using below PnP PowerShell code. It works for normal document library. I was not able to test it for document library reaching threshold limit (I don't have enough documents on test environment).

Connect-PnPOnline -Url https://<tenant>.sharepoint.com/sites/<siteName> -UseWebLogin

Set-PnPField -List "Documents" -Identity "NumberCol" -Values @{CommaSeparator=$false}

Output:

  • In Connect-PnPOnline command, you have to use URL of site where you created document library. In Set-PnPField command, you have to pass the display name of library in -List parameter.

    Do not add -admin in site URL. It should be simply like: https://contoso.sharepoint.com/sites/abcsite.
