PnP powershell equivant - Hide content type from new menu

Is there a method to hide content type from the 'new' menu on a list in the same way using the UI located at _layouts/15/ChangeContentTypeOrder.aspx. I have tried using following script, issue here is that it total hides the content type in the edit form :-(

 

$l = Get-PnPList -Identity "lists/MyList"-Web $web
$ctx = Get-pnpContext
$ctx.Load($l.ContentTypes)
$ctx.ExecuteQuery()

foreach ($ct in $l.ContentTypes)
{
    $ct.Name
    if ($ct.Name -eq 'ContentTypeName1')
    {
        $ct.Hidden=$true
        $ct.Update($false)
    }

}

$ctx.ExecuteQuery()

 

Regards...

    Hi Rod,

     

    you first need to add the new contenttype then change all items to the new contenttype end remove the contenttype.

     

    thought i had some code but could not find it right now.

     

    kr,

    You can do that with the following code:

    $contentTypeNamesInOrder = "Sub Project"
    $contentTypes = $projectInformationList.ContentTypes
    $ctx.Load($contentTypes)
    $ctx.Load($projectInformationList.RootFolder)
    $ctx.ExecuteQuery()

    $ctList = New-Object System.Collections.Generic.List[Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.ContentTypeId]
    Foreach($ct in $contentTypeNamesInOrder){
    $ctToInclude = $contentTypes | Where-Object {$_.Name -eq $ct}
    $ctList.Add($ctToInclude.Id)
    }
    #Updating content type order and visibility
    $projectInformationList.RootFolder.UniqueContentTypeOrder = $ctList
    $projectInformationList.Update()
    $projectInformationList.RootFolder.Update()
    $ctx.ExecuteQuery()
