Add-PnPField needs -AddToAllContentTypes parameter

[sparkitect]

Reporting an Issue or Missing Feature

When adding a column to a List or Library using the browser, one has an option to add the column to all of the Content Types in the List or Library. When adding a column to a List or Library using PnP PowerShell, this option is missing.

Expected behavior

If a parameter (e.g. -AddToAllContentTypes) specifies that the column should be added to all List Content Types, then the column should indeed be added to all List Content Types.

Actual behavior

No such parameter exists and the column is only added to the List's Default Content Type.

Steps to reproduce behavior

1. Create a List or Library
2. Allow Content Types
3. Add two or more Content Types to the List or Library
4. Add a new column to the List or Library using the Add-PnPField cmdlet Add-PnPField -List $list -DisplayName $columnName -InternalName $columnInternalName -AddToDefaultView -Type $columnType | Out-Null
5. Notice that the new column is only added to the Default Content Type

I opened a pull request to PnP-Sites-Core and another to PnP-PowerShell to implement -AddToAllContentTypes
