create new choice column to sharepoint library using flow

[Feibien]

Hi,

As stated in subject I'm trying to create a choice field in a library but also need to add this column to default view. So far I managed to create the field but I cant display this column in the default view. The purpose of this flow is help the users to replicate a column to multiple sites using a list in which the user will type the url and the name of the library that requires the new column.

This is the code to create a choice column I'm using in the action "sent http request to sharepoint" in flow

{ '__metadata':
{ 'type': 'SP.FieldChoice', 'addToDefaultView': 'true' },
'Title': 'NewColumn',
'FieldTypeKind': 6,
'Required': 'false',
'Choices': { 'results': ['A', 'B', 'C' ] }
}

I tried to add the column usingt the addtodefaultview part following some documents of microsoft, but doesn't work. The link used is https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/dev/declarative-customization/site-design-json-schema

Thanks beforehand for any help

Hi @Feibien 

The JSON for addSiteColumn should as below:

 {
    "verb": "addSiteColumn",
    "internalName": "siteColumnUser",
    "addToDefaultView": true
 }

Best regards,

Thanks for your reply.

I tried to add that code in my flow, but it gaves me this error 

"Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.InvalidClientQueryException".

Searching other Microsoft documents, found this one https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/dev/schema/field-element-field

According to that article, there's a property called "viewable", but when I use it in my code, Microsoft flow throws an error saying that the property doesn't exists...

I really don't know what I'm doing wrong...

I gave out on Flow and solved the problem using on Powershell the command add-pnpfield https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/sharepoint-pnp/add-pnpfield?view=sharepoint-ps
