Hi,
I wanted to create a folder within a simple list by using the SharePoint Online REST API, but was not able yet to do so. I tried a lot of stuff to get it work, but it seems it is simply not possible
Basically I trigger the list by this URL:
https://<Base URL>/_api/Web/Lists/getByTitle('Custom%20List')/items
and this POST Body:
{ "__metadata":{"type":"SP.Data.Custom_x0020_ListListItem"},"Title":"Test Folder", "ContentTypeId":"0x0120003323C8FB37825245827DCD274481C888"}
This creates a list item in my List 'Custom List' visible as Folder. Its Title is of course Test Folder, but the folder path is not /Custom%20List/Test%20Folder/ as I would suppose, but it is /Custom%20List/33_.00
I tried also the following body without success:
{ "__metadata":{"type": "SP.ListItemCreationInformation" },"FolderUrl":"/Custom List/Test Folder/","UnderlyingObjectType":1, "LeafName":"Test Folder"}
SharePoint return the following Error Message: "Es wurden inkompatible Typarten gefunden. Der Typ "SP.ListItemCreationInformation" hat die Art "Complex", es wird aber "Entity" erwartet."
Does somebody know, how to successfully create a folder within a simple list (NOT a library!)?
Thanks in advance!
