Default values for lookup is not showing after running PNP command successfully using Set-PnPField

[VijayaRimmalapudi]

Default values for lookup is not showing in the library after running PNP command successfully using Set-PnPField. Also will the default values set through PNP shown in the Search results page?

Set-PnPField -List "Listname" -Identity "Columnname" -Values @{DefaultValue="1;#Value"}

You were close :-)

Set-PnPField -List "yourlist" -Identity "ColumnName" -Values @{DefaultValue="Value"}

Eg. do not use the 1;# part, the DefaultValue property of a field is simply text without the index identifier.

You can use the Get-PnPField cmdlet to see the actual default value if you set the default value through the web interface first.

$field = Get-PnPField -List "yourlist" -Identity "YourChoiceField"
$field.DefaultValue
