Ensure a proper DiscussionBoard List creation

[SubPointSupport]

Seems that discussion bord list created programmatically lacks some configuration. Needs to be investigated.

How to enable Likes in Default DiscussionBoard List with SPMeta2 CSOM?
var list = new ListDefinition
{
CustomUrl = string.Format("Lists/{0}", listUrl),
Title = listName,
TemplateType = BuiltInListTemplateTypeId.DiscussionBoard,
OnQuickLaunch = false,
ContentTypesEnabled = true,
EnableAttachments = true
};
var ratingsEnabled = new PropertyDefinition
{
Key = "Ratings_VotingExperience",
Value = "Likes",
Overwrite = true
};
var model = SPMeta2Model.NewWebModel(webNode =>
{
webNode.AddList(list, listNode =>
{
listNode.AddProperty(ratingsEnabled);
});
});
var povisionService = new CSOMProvisionService();
povisionService.DeployWebModel(context, model);

After creating a list through SPMeta2, no relevant columns.

Works as expected. Added two more tests:

• CanDeploy_DiscussionBoard_By_TemplateName
• CanDeploy_DiscussionBoard_By_TemplateType

Voting experience has nothing to do with actual list creation process. Setting up "Ratings_VotingExperience" property bag value to "Likes" is not enough as all the required fields have to be added manually. Further architectural guides or suggestions are out of the current ticket.

Should the correct and working example of the desired behavior in C# be available, we more than happy to guide the M2 implementation/port.

Closing the ticket.
