Update the Created Field in SharePoint online with PnP PowerShell

To update the Created Field for SharePoint list item you can start the script like this. The most important here is the ‘fullcontrol’ permissions and ‘-UpdateType UpdateOverwriteVersion’ parameter in the request.

$url = 'https://markimarta.sharepoint.com/sites/dev'
Connect-PnPOnline -Url $url

$itemId   = 57
$created  = Get-Date "2025-03-14 00:00:00Z"  # 1 Apr current year, UTC
$listTitle = 'MegaRequests'

Set-PnPListItem -List $listTitle -Identity $itemId -Values @{ "Created" = $created } -UpdateType UpdateOverwriteVersion

When you need it? I used it for integration tests on the data a-la production, but also you may need it for developer tests and requests.
