Create a New SharePoint List and Add a Choice Field to it Using PNP

Introduction

Nowadays, there is high demand for PnP, as there is less execution of codes and all is done by executing a number of commands in PnP.

At first, connect to the site where you want to create a new list and the chosen field of it.

To connect to the SharePoint list, you must run the following PnP command, as given below.

$credentials = Get-Credential

$siteurl = "https://softreetechss.sharepoint.com"

Connect-PnPOnline -Url $siteurl -Credentials $credentials

In the place of siteurl, give the URL of your site.

After executing the command, you will be prompted for the credentials of the site, as shown below.

After providing the credentials of your site, you can create a new list in your site.

To create a new list in your site, you should run the following command, as given below.

Add-PnPField -List"Demo4 Test" -DisplayName"Demo4"

After running the script, you will notice that the newlist has been created in your site, as shown below.

To create the new choice field in the newly created list, you should run the following command, as given below.

Add-PnPField -List"Demo4Test" -DisplayName"Language" -Type Choice -AddToDefaultView -Choices"English","French","Dutch"

After running the script, you will notice that the new field is created in your list, as shown below.

After creating the field it is time to use those choices which we added through the command and those choices are, 1. English,2. French,3. Dutch.

To use these choices you need to add an item in the newly created list. You can see these choices as shown below.
