I'm using below script that actually create the News List in my SharePoint Online site, but I'm stuck on how to create different Column (Field) types under that List, right now it's just creating a Multiple lines of text Type field (NewsSum and NewsText). See the script below. I like to create DateTime type, Yes/No Choice Type, Multi Selection Type etc.. fields. Please guide.

$newsListName = "News"
Add-List -listTitle $newsListName
[string[][]]$fields =   ("NewsSum","Note",""),
                        ("NewsText","Note","")
Add-FieldsToList $fields $newsListName

  • Do you have any documentation how to find Add-List ? I can't see any such cmdlets in msdn. Commented Jan 16, 2015 at 16:54
  • Yup, it's right here, just add this module and you will get that sharepointpowershell.codeplex.com Commented Jan 16, 2015 at 16:57
  • just download the above codeplex project, open the example file and search for "Create news list", I'm able to create this, but need to figure out how to create other types, if I change String to DateTime is says, Can Not convert the value NewsSum to System.DateTime.
