How to clone the metadata of documentA and set on documentB?

Question

We are using SharePoint Online. I have some document library with Word documents. I created some logic where I convert a Word document to PDF. I would like to write some logic in powershell to clone the metadata of the Word document and set on the PDF document. How to this? Is this for example possible with pnp powershell?

Something like this:

#get metadata of documentA
$documentA = Get-PnPListItem -List "TestKH" -Id 1 -Fields "Title","DocumentStatus"

#set metadata of documentB
Set-PnPListItem -List "TestKH" -Identity 2 -Values $documentA.FieldValues

Answer 1

The file metadata of automatically generated by System can not be cloned to another file. For example: GUID, ID, File Size.

I suggest you can create MS Flow to achieve your design.

Execute the following PowerShell script to copy the file metadata to another document.

• Get the data of the FileA：

  $SiteURL= "https://test.sharepoint.com/sites/projects"

  Connect-PnPOnline -Url $SiteURL -UseWebLogin

  $LibName = "Documents"

  $Fields = Get-PnPField -List $LibName

  $FileA= (Get-PnPListItem -List $LibName -Id 38 -Fields "ID","Title","FileStatus","Body")

  Write-Host ""

  Write-Host "ID :"$FileA["ID"] -ForegroundColor Yellow

  Write-Host "Title :"$FileA["Title"]

  Write-Host "Status :"$FileA["FileStatus"]

  Write-Host "Body :"$FileA["Body"]

  Write-Host "—————————————————————————" -BackgroundColor Cyan

• Copy data to FileB：

  Set-PnPListItem -List $LibNAme -Id 40 -Values @{"Title" = $FileA["Title"]; "FileStatus"=$FileA["FileStatus"];"Body"=$FileA["Body"]}
