How to update Sharepoint list item hyperlink column

Macháček Martin 306

I'm trying to update hyperlink column with the following request

PATCH https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/sites/{site-id}/lists/{list-id}/items/{item-id}/fields

Content-Type application/json

Request body:

{
    "OriginalImageLink": {
        "url": "https://example.com/img1.jpg",
        "description": "Url link"
    }
}

But it returns invalid request error

{
    "error": {
        "code": "invalidRequest",
        "message": "Invalid request",
        "innerError": {
            "date": "2021-11-30T07:53:25",
            "request-id": "229c925b-db3a-4ce6-abee-78f4e626151c",
            "client-request-id": "43e37eac-75a8-40d3-3c96-b9cb3a0e0eba"
        }
    }
}

Does Graph API support updating of hyperlink column? How can I update hyperlink column using graph sdk for .net?

How oO How is this not possible. How can any QA approve this. I'm able to read list-items from hyperlinks easily:

{ "Title": "aTitle", "hyperlinkColumn": { "Description": "url_description", "Url": "https://www.google.de" }, }

And is has to be possible to just write exactly the same fields back, creating a new list entry...

Hi @Macháček Martin

Currently, the update of sharepoint listitem with hyperlink field is not supported. There was a similar problem on github before, but it has not been resolved yet. I suggest you submit a user voice to add a support request for updating hyperlink column, and I'll vote for you.

Are... you... kidding me?

Every time I feel like Microsoft has made something useable. we hit something completely ridiculous like this issue. Our design revolves around being able to use this hyperlink field. This is such a basic problem that could be solved by one guy in an hour or two.

@Mr Martin I've created a feedback for the Microsoft Graph : https://feedbackportal.microsoft.com/feedback/idea/fe010dc4-5f3f-ee11-a81c-6045bdbbbc93

I'm afraid create/update hyperlink item is still not supported.
Btw. @CarlZhao-MSFT do you know what's the odata type for hyperlink field?

"******@odata.type": "??????????", "OriginalImageLink": { "url": "https://example.com/img1.jpg", "description": "Url link" }

How can one make a field that can be read but not updated through an API? <off topic removed>

Answer 2

@phmb There is one solution:

Internally, the request is routed to the internal SharePoint API, which doesn't support creating or updating a hyperlink field. Beta version of the internal SharePoint API has support for the hyperlink field.

You can enforce the request to be routed to the beta version of the internal SharePoint API by adding the Prefer:apiversion=2.1 header to your request.

Create a hyperlink field:

POST https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/sites/{site-id}/lists/{list-id}/items
Content-Type: application/json
Prefer: apiversion=2.1
{
  "fields": {
    "Title": "Project1",
    "ProjectUrl": {
      "Description": "Project 1 home site",
      "Url": "https://www.project1.com"
    }
  }
}

Update the hyperlink field:

https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/sites/{site-id}/lists/{list-id}/items/{list-item-id}/fields
Content-Type: application/json
Prefer:apiversion=2.1
{
  "ProjectUrl": {
    "Description": "Project 1 Home Site",
    "Url": "https://www.project-1.com"
  }
}

With the Prefer: apiversion=2.1 header, the request will succeed and the hyperlink field will be updated.

Be aware that the request will be routed to the beta version of the internal SharePoint API, which means that the functionality might change in the future.
