@milanholemans isn't it possible to set default value for a column on a list using
m365 spo field set --webUrl "https://tenanttocheck.sharepoint.com/sites/PnPDemo2" --listTitle "aaa" --title "aaa" --DefaultValue "bbb"

[milanholemans]

It's not about setting a default field value, but about setting a folder default value on a list. In the UI, you can do it over here:

It's related to #6404

[Adam-it]

aaaa ok now I get it

[Adam-it]

@milanholemans in this case the spec LGTM.
Just one question: do you have any API tips that should be used to develop this command?

[milanholemans]

There's not really an API endpoint for it, the command has to do all the logic itself. But I'm willing to work on it.
