Add Folders with metadata using PowerShell script

[Fred Y]

Hi,

Any code samples for creating SharePoint folders with metadata into a document library? I'd like to import a list from CSV but I've only seen a sample where it adds the folder and changes permission. 

Thanks!

Hello Fred,

If you are talking about a folder with the metadata in SP library.And assume you have 3 metadata for each folder.

$web = Get-SPWeb http://webapp.com/site/
$list = $web.GetList("/site/Library Name")

Create a folder with defined metadata:

$spFolder = $list.AddItem("",[Microsoft.SharePoint.SPFileSystemObjectType]::Folder,"Folder Name")
$spFolder["Col 1"]="Cont 1"
$spFolder["Col 2"]="Cont 2"
$spFolder["Col 3"]="Cont 3"
$spFolder.Update()

Please let me know if that works

Thanks,
Thuyavan

Hi, @Thuyavan Ganesan

Do I need to specify in the script if I'm using custom folder content type with the metadata, or will the default SPFileSystemObjectType::Folder work? 

Thanks,

Hi Fred,

keep the default SPFileSystemObjectType::Folder .

Thanks,
