Programatically change the new menu in modern libraries
I am creating a lot of document libraries with code in our enterprise and each library should have different content types. Unfortunately after updating the content types with CSOM, the default Word...
It was quite easy. Figured it out myself:
CSOM with C#:
var list = _sharePointCsomClient._clientContext.Web.Lists.GetByTitle(currentUnit.Name);
var defaultView = list.DefaultView;
_sharePointCsomClient._clientContext.Load(defaultView);
var menu = defaultView.NewDocumentTemplates = "[{\"templateId\":\"NewFolder\",\"title\":\"Folder\",\"visible\":true},{\"templateId\":\"NewDOC\",\"title\":\"Word document\",\"visible\":true},{\"templateId\":\"NewXSL\",\"title\":\"Excel workbook\",\"visible\":true},{\"templateId\":\"NewPPT\",\"title\":\"PowerPoint presentation\",\"visible\":true},{\"templateId\":\"NewONE\",\"title\":\"OneNote notebook\",\"visible\":true},{\"templateId\":\"NewXSLSurvey\",\"title\":\"Excel survey\",\"visible\":true},{\"templateId\":\"NewXSLForm\",\"title\":\"Forms for Excel\",\"visible\":true},{\"templateId\":\"NewVSDX\",\"title\":\"Visio drawing\",\"visible\":true},{\"templateId\":\"Link\",\"title\":\"Link\",\"visible\":true}]";
list.DefaultView.Update();
await _sharePointCsomClient.ExcecuteQueryAsync();
