Hey danmitchell36,

Thanks for the link, I gave yours a try, but got this error:

Not well formatted JSON stream.

serviceRequestId: a805c99e-a06d-8000-aa83-4de13cfb3351

Thanks

mo_mkf Probably because his code contains the wrong quotes:

“ AND ”

If you replace them with the default quotes

" AND "

Then the JSON error is resolved

{
  "Title": "Test",
  "Link":{
  "_metadata": {"type": "SP.FieldUrlValue"},
  "Description": "Link",
  "Url": "https://www.google.com"
  }
}
