Set default column value with powershell pnp

Question

I am trying to set a default value for a managed metadata field in a newly created library, can I achieve that with Set-PnPField?

Answer 1

You can use the Set-PnPDefaultColumnValues command to set the value.

Use it as below:

Set-PnPDefaultColumnValues -List Documents -Field TaxKeyword 
-Value \"Company|Locations|Stockholm\""

where the term Stockholm is located in the Locations termset inside Company term group.

If you know the guid of the term, then you can do it as:

Set-PnPDefaultColumnValues -List Documents -Field TaxKeyword 
-Value \"15c4c4e4-4b67-4894-a1d8-de5ff811c791\""

Here, TaxKeyword is the internal name of the column inside Documents library.
