Bug: 'spo file add' removing leading zeros
See original GitHub issueDescription:
When adding a file and attempting to set a field (in this case a single-line of text), a value passed through with leading zeros will have those zeros removed.
Steps to reproduce:
spo file add --webUrl https://contoso.sharepoint.com/sites/project-x --folder 'Shared Documents' --path 'C:\MS365.jpg' --Title "000123"
Expected:
New file added to destination with a Title attribute of '000123'
Actual:
New file added to destination with a Title attribute of '123'
Additional notes (Updated: 12/6/2018):
After further testing, this only appears to affect values that contain only numerical characters. If any characters other than a number are included in the value (regardless of positioning), the leading zeros are preserved.
Therefore, the following will create a new item with the ‘Title’ attribute of ’ 000123’ as expected.
spo file add --webUrl https://contoso.sharepoint.com/sites/project-x --folder 'Shared Documents' --path 'C:\MS365.jpg' --Title " 000123"
Likewise, the following will create a new item with the ‘Title’ attribute of ‘000123 ABCD’ as expected.
spo file add --webUrl https://contoso.sharepoint.com/sites/project-x --folder 'Shared Documents' --path 'C:\MS365.jpg' --Title "000123 ABCD"Issue Analytics

My pleasure! Major thanks to you and the other contributors for developing this as I’ve been able to use it on a major migration from an aging ECM to our SharePoint site.
Originally, I was using SharePointPnP PowerShell (Add-PnPFile), but was facing excessive memory usage issues when the amount of items being written was too large. Your very timely release of ‘spo add item’, which has not exhibited the same issue, has been greatly appreciated. 😃
For the time being, I simply appended a space (’ ') to the values that this was affecting - not too big of an issue (and something I can easily clean up later on).
I’m looking forward to building more solutions using this CLI.
Best regards,
Ramiro
