Cli-microsoft365: Footer Visibility with SPO web set extended

[Asfiti]

I tried to turn off/on footer with "SPO web set" but didn't work. Here are the repo steps:
Environment is upgraded to latest Cli 1.18.0 and have custom design.
I used the commandlet after i run "spo web set --help" to set footer property

1. run " office365"
2. $ Spo web set --webUrl https://contoso.sharepoint.com/sites/team --footerEnabled true

Thank you for reporting the bug. We'll have a look asap

It seems like the Footer capability is available only on Communication Sites at this moment. You can confirm this by navigating to the Change the look options in the site settings in SharePoint. Controlling the footer visibility is only visible on a Communication site. It could be that the SharePoint API allows setting the option on any web, but at this time it has only effect on Communication sites.

@waldekmastykarz Thank you for looking into this. The site is actually is communication site and the only difference is it's use of custom design/script.

Gotcha! I thought it was a team site given the URL. Could you please confirm two things:

1. When running o365 spo web get --url <url> FooterEnabled is set to true
2. When you turn the the Footer on using the SharePoint UI it's visible?

Sorry for the typo. It should have said "/comn" at the end. FooterEnabled is true. "spo web get --webUrl" not "--url" is working by the way :)

[waldekmastykarz]

What about trying to change the footer visibility in the UI? Does it work as expected?

[Asfiti]

@waldekmastykarz That's a good point. Footer option is not available on UI for newly provisioned or existing communication sites with even out-of-the-box templates.

@waldekmastykarz It seems footer is rolled back by Microsoft at least in our case but the property remains true which is a default value. Thank you for your help.
