Question/Request

As of v4 when adding an item to the list the .add() method returns void as well as update.

How do I know the item Id of the item I just added to the list?
Consider a scenario where the list is heavily used, getting "last" item won't cut it.

@SPWizard01 - I just took a look to verify that there wasn't a bug and according to the source code the add method on list items returns "any". Then I tested it and got the data on the recently added item, which includes the Id. The change for version 3 was that we no longer return an object with the data and item properties we just return the data as a pass through from the REST api like we do for any other call.

So v4 looks like this:

const item = await sp.web.lists.getByTitle("pnplist").items.add({Title: 'Hello World'});
const id = item.ID;
