'Set-PnPDefaultColumnValues' not working on sharepoint online library

[sav169]

Set-PnPDefaultColumnValues not working.

• I have a sharepoint online subsite
• I have a library called 'mappings'
• I have the following folders in the library- A B C D
• I have a managed metedata column for the library called 'map'
• I want to set the default value for all the above folders for the column 'Map' using the powershell command.
• I am running the below command to set the default value but it does not set the default value.
• There is no error. The command completes but it does not set the default value on the folder.
• The command I run is below
  Set-PnPDefaultColumnValues -List ["mappings"] -Field [map] -Folder "D" -Value "Information Technology|mappings|D"
• This works if I do it through UI via the library settings - Column default value settings but since I have to map a lot of folders in multiple libraries, I want to use Powershell

I just followed your exact steps and it worked OK for me. Were you able to get this working?

I have found that if you mess up with Set-PnpDefaultColumnValues, it can irreparably screw up your library, to the point where the only way to fix it is to delete it and re-create it.

For example, I thought I might be able to use a Lookup column and set a default value on it for a folder. The command doesn't complain, but then it doesn't work and you can't remove it. I think I had a similar issue where I misspelled the name of the term group - it didn't give me an error, but I couldn't undo it.
