    Hi!

    So CanToggleHidden doesn't exist in SharePoint online.

    try this :

    Make it hidden or Visible:

    Set-PnPField -List $ListName -Identity $FieldName -Values @{Required=$False;Hidden=$False}

     

    Delete Field:

    Remove-PnPField -List $ListName -Identity $FieldName

@NicholasKheirallah This didnt work. I am still getting the same error "Error: Cannot change Hidden attribute for this field" while trying to delete the column using Remove-PnPField

Do a Get-PnPField on that field and post the output. Sounds like it might have an different internal name?
