PnP Powershell - Setting "modified by" on documents in library

Hi, I have a document library where I want to mass change the "modified by" of the documents in it. I've tried the following on a single document:     $List = "My document library" $ID = "2"...

JimGr Yes, Editor is the correct internal name of Modified by column in SharePoint.

 

Also, you have to use the -UpdateType parameter with the Set-PnPListItem cmdlet.

 

Check below links for more information about what value to use for this parameter:

  1. Set-PnPListItem
