I have this PnP Powershell script to get a field on the list level and hide it from the New form:-

Connect-PnPOnline <tenant-site-url>

$ctx = Get-PnPContext
$field = Get-PnPField -Identity <field-name> -List <list-name>

$field.SetShowInNewForm($false)
$field.Update()
$ctx.ExecuteQuery()

but how i can get the field on the web/site level, instead on the list level. so i can set this property for the field on the web/site level and get it applied to all the lists?

Thanks

    Hi @john john ,

    There is no such function to get a field on the web/site level. You can get a collection of lists in the site, then set the field in a loop. Please refer to the following commend

    $Lists = Get-PnPList
foreach($List in $Lists){
$field = Get-PnPField -Identity <field-name> -List <list-name> $field.SetShowInNewForm($false) $field.Update() $ctx.ExecuteQuery()
}
