No command to set a custom message for access request page

Since about March 2018 it is possible to set a custom message at the access request page GUI in Sharepoint Online. See Screenshot here.

Since we are setting up our Sharepoint Webs using PnPPowershell, we want to add a message here using powershell. Since March I am monitoring the changelog and the Documentation of Set-PNPRequestaccessmails, but there does not seem to be any change or addition here.

Am I missing something? Is there a pnp powershell command available to change the custom message for access request page? Is it on the roadmap?

@rom-1
Could you provide me the link for the doc you read and also reproduce steps?

I would like to test it from my end.

@TheMiao thank you for taking a look at this issue.

I am sorry, I do not understand which kind of doc you are requesting from me. I just wanted to point out that Microsoft introduced a new feature in Sharepoint Online in beginning of 2018 ("access request settings -> custom message") which I seem to not be able to setup using Set-PNPRequestaccessmails or any similar command.

Either this feature is not implemented in SharepointPnP yet, or I am missing the documentation for it. In the first case I wonder if this missing option is going to be implemented soon....

Sorry, I am not sure how you can reproduce steps of a missing command/argument.

Also, quoting a technet support reply dated May 23th 2018, telling us sth. about the SharepointOnline.CSOM... maybe thats why it is not possible yet for SharepointPnP to implement?

I check the latest version(16.1.7618.1200) of the Microsoft.SharePointOnline.CSOM package, unfortunately ,it can't provide a web property to set the "Include a custom message to users who see access request page" for Access Requests Settings currently

I've found the solution provided by other developers It may help you how to Set up and manage access requests

Both links do not solve the issue: These are solutions how to set the Recipient EMail Address. We are already doing that for years with PnPPowershell, no problem. Our issue is: We want to set the "Custom Message" part using PowerShell (not REST).

Thanks for the information.

Unfortunately I haven't found any docs or reference either from SP PnP Cmdlets list below. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/sharepoint/sharepoint-pnp/sharepoint-pnp-cmdlets?view=sharepoint-ps#webs

I guess the the Cmdlets will add soon but still not yet.

Yes, thats exactly what I figured out in my original posting, quote:

Is there a pnp powershell command available to change the custom message for access request page? Is it on the roadmap?

So, thats why I just wanted to report back that this is a missing feature....

As there seem to be no progress in this topic, can sombody please label this as uservoice-request? I mean, this is obviously a missing parameter of the cmdlet Set-PNPRequestaccessmails
