    Too bad :( 

     

    But are you successfully calling the view-items endpoint: 

    /beta/sites/{site-id}/lists/{list-id}/items

     and getting a non-null response? 

     

    Because all I get as a response is:

    {
    "@odata.context": "https://graph.microsoft.com/beta/...",
    "value": []
}

    For the lookup, have you tried JUST passing the Integer value of the target item?

      I'm not sure I understand. Can you put out a json quick exemple of the PATCH http request that would follow what you are suggesting?

        just pass the value like you would a string

        Maybe if your lookup is called "lookupField", I think it uses a secondary internal fieldname with "Id" appended to the end of it. This is how we have to do it for csom or spd web services, so I'd imagine its the same for Graph.

        "lookupFieldId": "80",

        or

        "lookupFieldId": 80,
