Document Information Panel in office 365 apps + open by default

Dear all

I didn't find a related topic here so I want to ask the following question

We want to use the "Document Information panel" with Office 365 apps and Sharepoint online so that user complete metadata.

So far i know how to make it appear automatically with the GUI from the content type setting.

I would like to know if there is a way to make that option the default one or any way to have it activated by default and not do it manually for each content type.

i was able to manage it via the content type hub but I don't want to use the content type hub.

I didn't find the option with pnp powershell

 

Or you didn't advise at all to use the "Document information panel" at all?

Document Library

    I reply partially to myself so it can help other if required.

    WIth PNP powershell, we can retrieve the XML schema for the content type

    $data = Get-PnPContentType -Identity 0x01010028739CF52E3CB54CB6EA0883DB4E825D
$data2= $data.SchemaXml

    i should change the value "openByDefault" from True to false at the end of the schema

     

    is there a proper way to do it? Pretty new with powershell and not sure how to update it correctly.

    Probalby something with ".Context.ExecuteQuery()" and so on, but with the Schema containing " and ', i'm strugling to update it
