[PnP][SharePoint] How to add a column to all content types of a list?

Question

I have a list in SharePoint with 50 content types. My list has two columns that I want to add to each content type in my list using PNP library. Until now I have something like this:

Add-PnPField -List $listTitle -Field $_.Name 

But I could't find a way to check that "Add to all content types" checkbox from PNP. I've tried

-AddToAllContentTypes 

but i've got this error: Add-PnPField : A positional parameter cannot be found that accepts argument 'AddFieldOptions.AddToNoContentType'.

Any way to do that ?

Answer 1

Try adding -FieldOptions AddToAllContentTypes parameter to your Add-PnPField command.

For Example:

Add-PnPField -List "New list" -DisplayName "New List Column" -InternalName "NewListColumn" -Type Text -Required -AddToDefaultView -FieldOptions AddToAllContentTypes

Note:

1. As per the March 2020 Release, They have removed FieldOptions argument from Add-PnPField.

2. So, you might try using above command by installing January 2020 Release (v3.17.2001.0) or February 2020 Release(v3.18.2002.0).
