Using the Beta API, I am unable to create "hyperlinkOrPicture" or "currency" Site Columns

Question

I can create site columns by posted to "../beta/sites/{my site id}/columns". This works for most field types but I am having trouble creating "hyperlinkOrPicture" and "currency" column types. I have noticed that when I just "GET" the columns, I can see that my currency fields have a "currency" property, but "hyperlinkOrPicture" don't have any property indicating their field type. I can also see that on "https://github.com/microsoftgraph/microsoft-graph-docs/blob/master/api-reference/beta/resources/columndefinition.md" it says that "....most common field types are represented....API is still missing some", however the schema shows that the "currency" and "hyperlinkOrPicture" are available so I would expect them to work.

Can anyone confirm that it is not possible to create these field types? If it is possible, does anyone have an example POST body that works?

Hi @Aaron Cutlip ,

Per my test, I reproduced this issue on my two different tenants.

I can confirm that currently we can not create "hyperlinkOrPicture" and "currency" column types with the endpoint.

The beta enpoint api are still in preview status, and may have some bugs when using it.
