Sharepoint Send HTTP Request - Change Default Content Type in a List

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by RichardB

Hi there,

Am using the Send an HTTP request to SharePoint action to create a new List and then another HTTP request to add the required ContentType to the new list using the following Uri string and it all works fine.

 

_api/web/lists('<ListGUID>')/contenttypes/addAvailableContentType('<ContentTypeGUID>')

 

BUT, I want the new ContentType to be the default (There is one other ContentType which is the default), so either make this one invisible or change the order.

 

Does anyone know how to change a default using Flow.

 

Thanks Richard

    Hi @RichardB,

     

    I assume that you could try to update the default content type value with the new content type value.

    The following blog could be your reference:

    Best regards,

    Mabel

    Hi Mabel,

     

    Although this is a very useful article, I couldn't see where it could provide guidance on how to set or change the default Content Type.

     

    Thanks for your response, but will have to leave this open ... in the meantime maybe you could ask the SPO team if this is possible.

     

    regards Richard
