HyperlinkOrPicture is missing from ColumnDefinition

Question

When retrieving column definitions with a query like this:

https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/sites/cf79eb97-b8ca-4682-9dd9-ba957c01367b/lists/bb608fce-6cff-4858-b06b-604b2905a628/columns/700351ba-ec4d-4ad4-be02-1888fa3e07ee

there is no hyperlinkOrPicture property for hyperlink columns. For example, the above query (for a hyperlink column) returns:

{
"@odata.context": "https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/$metadata#sites('cf79eb97-b8ca-4682-9dd9-ba957c01367b')/lists('bb608fce-6cff-4858-b06b-604b2905a628')/columns/$entity",
"columnGroup": "Custom Columns",
"description": "",
"displayName": "CopyTo",
"enforceUniqueValues": false,
"hidden": false,
"id": "700351ba-ec4d-4ad4-be02-1888fa3e07ee",
"indexed": false,
"name": "CopyTo",
"readOnly": false,
"required": false
}

Same result using v1.0 or beta API.

Answer 1

Hi @Ivan Peters ,

According to my research , the column will only have its basic properties. Sites and list columns response won't contain hyperlinkOrPicture.

You can see the Note in the documentation.

Note: These properties correspond to the SharePoint SPFieldType enumeration. Note that the most common field types are represented in the previous table. However, this API is still missing some. In those cases, none of the column type facets will be populated, and the column will only have its basic properties. Sites and list columns response won't contain isDeletable, propagateChanges, isReorderable, isSealed, validation, hyperlinkOrPicture, term, sourceContentType, thumbnail, type, contentApprovalStatus, and sourceColumn properties.
