Using PnP PowerShell Apply label to items in this list or library

Hi All,

 

I am trying below PowerShell code for applying the retail policy to "Apply label to items in this list or library" but getting some Waring as mentioned below.

 

This is the ("30 Years Delete (Delete after 30 years)") default Label available for all list and libraris.

 

Kindly let me know how to Apply label to items in this list or library using PnP PowerShell.

 

Code:

Connect-PnPOnline -Url $siteURL -UseWebLogin

Set-PnPLabel -List "Documents" -Label "30 Years Delete (Delete after 30 years)" -SyncToItems $true

 

WARNING: Can not find compliance tag with value: Default. SiteSubscriptionId: 38ae3bcd-9579-4fd4-adda-b42e1495d55a

    Hi harishpatil,

    you are most probably getting the warning messagge because the Set-PnPLabel cmdlet is looking for a compliance tag with the value Default.
    However, there is no compliance tag with that value.

    To try to resolve this issue, you can use the following PowerShell script to apply the 30 Years Delete (Delete after 30 years) label to all items in the Documents library:

     

    Connect-PnPOnline -Url $siteURL -UseWebLogin

# Get the compliance tag with the value "30 Years Delete (Delete after 30 years)"
$complianceTag = Get-PnPComplianceTag -Label "30 Years Delete (Delete after 30 years)"

# Apply the compliance tag to all items in the "Documents" library
Set-PnPLabel -List "Documents" -Label $complianceTag -SyncToItems $true

     

     

    This script will first get the compliance tag with the value 30 Years Delete (Delete after 30 years). Then, it will apply the compliance tag to all items in the Documents library.

        Hi harishpatil,

        thanks for your Update.

        To resolve the issue you are facing, you will need to install the PnP PowerShell cmdlets.

        You can install the PnP PowerShell cmdlets using the following steps:

        1. Open a PowerShell console.
        2. Run the following command:

         

        Install-Module -Name SharePointPnPPowerShellOnline -Force​

         

        Once the PnP PowerShell cmdlets are installed, you should be able to run the PowerShell script without errors.

         

        Connect-PnPOnline -Url $siteURL -UseWebLogin

# Get the compliance tag with the value "30 Years Delete (Delete after 30 years)"
$complianceTag = Get-PnPComplianceTag -Label "30 Years Delete (Delete after 30 years)"

# Apply the compliance tag to all items in the "Documents" library
Set-PnPLabel -List "Documents" -Label $complianceTag -SyncToItems $true

         

         

        Please also restart PowerShell after installing the PnP PowerShell cmdlets in order for the changes to take effect.
