New-MgUser command fails when providing employeeId field #3304
Description
Describe the bug
I am importing the data via csv and then post that data into an object which fails if the employeeid field is present. The employee ID is a numerical value, and the error message states that it cannot be converted to a string.
"message": "Cannot convert the literal '800067' to the expected type 'Edm.String'.",
Expected behavior
This same script was working properly in previous versions of the Graph module and would not error and the user would be created with the EmployeeID.
How to reproduce
$users = c:\File.csv
$PasswordProfile = @{
Password = 'Password'
ForceChangePasswordNextSignIn = $true
}
foreach ($user in $users) {
# Create a new user
$userproperties = @{
DisplayName = $user.DisplayName.Trim()
GivenName = $user.FirstName.Trim()
Surname = $user.LastName.Trim()
UserPrincipalName = $user.UserPrincipalName.Trim()
UsageLocation = $user.UsageLocation.Trim()
MailNickname = $user.MailNickname.Trim()
JobTitle = $user.JobTitle.Trim()
CompanyName = $user.CompanyName.Trim()
Department = $user.Department.Trim()
EmployeeType = $user.EmployeeType.Trim()
EmployeeId = $user.EmployeeId.Trim()
}
New-MgUser @userproperties -AccountEnabled:$true -PasswordProfile $passwordProfile
}``
