Enable Versioning doesn't work with New-SPOList about pnp-powershell

[kilasuit]

Hi @hanielc - Is this with a specific list type? I only ask as Minor versions from memory only work with Document Librarys - though I could be wrong on that 😉

Also is this being run against On-Prem or Online?

@kilasuit , it happens on custom lists based on the GenericList type on Online. The documentation doesn't mention anything around minor versions. I was able get around it by using the following:

$list = Get-SPOList "MyList"
$list.EnableVersioning = $true
$list.Update()
$ctx.ExecuteQuery()

Should the cmdlet ask for major/minor version? :)

I've just checked through the code implementation - it's not trying to pass through EnableMinorVersioning that I can see - only allowing the request of setting Major versions.

Perhaps @erwinvanhunen can shed some other light on this.

This is actually related to the method in the PnP Core library that is being called. It sets the EnableMinorVersions property on the list, regardless of the type. Ryan was right with his assumption that it can only be set on document libraries. I've updated the core library method now and the fix will be in the nuget release we will do later this week. I will close this issue.
