Thanks sutha and John - I guess I have to play with it a bit more! It's frustrating as there are bugs listed as completed in the project from a few years ago re: the engine needing to create lists used by lookup cols prior to creating the fields.
Maybe it's because my lookups are also site cols applied via content types. Maybe I should change that design practice Sent from my iPhone On 9 Mar 2017, at 10:17 pm, John Liu <john-...@outlook.com<mailto:john-...@outlook.com>> wrote: In my experience with PnP scripts – it’s tricky with lookup lists. You want to do pretty much what you would do manually – create list first, then add the lookup, then add the site/list content type to that list. I find that I sometimes need to split the template into two pieces – one that creates lists with no content type. And Fields that points to those lists. Then I run apply a second time to apply the entire template again – and since PnP provisioning template is additive, it gets the job done. But it’s a lot of trial and error. Makes me hate lookup fields a lot. jliu From: ozmoss-requ...@ozmoss.com<mailto:ozmoss-requ...@ozmoss.com> Sent: Wednesday, 8 March 2017 1:09 PM To: ozmoss@ozmoss.com<mailto:ozmoss@ozmoss.com> Subject: ozmoss Digest, Vol 74, Issue 3 Send ozmoss mailing list submissions to ozmoss@ozmoss.com<mailto:ozmoss@ozmoss.com> To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit http://prdlxvm0001.codify.net/mailman/listinfo/ozmoss or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to ozmoss-requ...@ozmoss.com<mailto:ozmoss-requ...@ozmoss.com> You can reach the person managing the list at ozmoss-ow...@ozmoss.com<mailto:ozmoss-ow...@ozmoss.com> When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than "Re: Contents of ozmoss digest..."

PnP Provisioning Engine - Issue with Lookup Field (Nigel Witherdin) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Message: 1 Date: Wed, 8 Mar 2017 01:53:09 +0000 From: Nigel Witherdin <nigel_wither...@hotmail.com<mailto:nigel_wither...@hotmail.com>> Subject: PnP Provisioning Engine - Issue with Lookup Field To: OzMoss <ozmoss@ozmoss.com<mailto:ozmoss@ozmoss.com>> Message-ID: <by2pr01mb175128a544c654455479d92c8f...@by2pr01mb1751.prod.exchangelabs.com<mailto:by2pr01mb175128a544c654455479d92c8f...@by2pr01mb1751.prod.exchangelabs.com>> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Hi All, Having an issue trying to use the PnP Provisioning Engine PowerShell cmdlets to template a site that contains Lookup columns. The site is an O365 site, and the commands I am using are: Connect-SPOnline "https://scentregroup.sharepoint.com/sites/scgpmo"; Get-PnPProvisioningTemplate -Out c:\temp\pmo.xml -PersistBrandingFiles -Handlers Lists, ContentTypes, Fields, Files, Navigation, Pages, RegionalSettings, SiteSecurity, TermGroups, Workflows Connect-SPOnline "https://scentregroup.sharepoint.com/sites/pmo_trial"; Apply-PnPProvisioningTemplate -Path c:\temp\pmo.xml -Handlers Lists, ContentTypes, Fields, Files, Navigation, Pages, RegionalSettings, SiteSecurity, TermGroups, Workflows The "Apply-PnPProvisioningTemplate" fails with the error: Apply-PnPProvisioningTemplate : The field was found invalid: {{listid:PriorLookUpStratAlign1} I believe the line in the pmo.xml file that is causing the issue is the first (of a few) lookup fields. I understand that the engine is using a token to represent the list id, which should be replaced with an actual list id when the list on the new site is actually created <Field Type="Lookup" DisplayName="SCG_PMO_PriorityStrategicAlignment:Score1" List="{{listid:PriorLookUpStratAlign1}}" WebId="df9b6d5e-4f8b-4abe-99f9-1776e3928e22" ShowField="Score1" FieldRef="b1b6ed05-a2e1-4699-b3c8-12a1838c44ef" UnlimitedLengthInDocumentLibrary="FALSE" Group="SCG PMO" ID="{656200e0-d1ad-44f8-8c1a-e83a433f46b1}" SourceID="{df9b6d5e-4f8b-4abe-99f9-1776e3928e22}" StaticName="SCG_PMO_PriorityStrategicAlignment_x003a_Score1" Name="SCG_PMO_PriorityStrategicAlignment_x003A_Score1" ReadOnly="TRUE" /> Dont really understand why the "WebId" parameter is not also using some sort of token replacement logic? Has anyone used the engine to template sites including lookup fields? If so, can you offer any advice as to where I am going wrong? I have also attached the full pmo.xml file in case that helps Thanks! Nigel -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
