Hi  Deleted,

 

I've reproduced the error on a task list. Then I created a new custom list and I got the same issue.

 

Then I tried the same in a differnt tenant and it all worked fine.

 

The only other differnce is that I'm running PnP PowerShell froma differnt machine today. Friday I had a slightly later version of PnP. Could you try this with the March release?

Hi Pieter,

 

I get the same results with the February and March versions.

 

When I installed the January version the script worked as expected.

 

Maybe this is a bug introduced in the February update?

    Deleted,

     

    Yes it looks like this was introduced in February. One workaround would be  to run the Add-PnPListItem (without parameters) and then run Set-PnPListItem to set the properties.

      Thanks Pieter,

       

      I'm going to stick with the January version of the cmdlets for now as they seem to do the job.
