Sp-dev-docs: Issue while activating Site collection feature

Created on 30 Nov 2018  ·  4Comments  ·  Source: SharePoint/sp-dev-docs

I was trying to activate the site collection feature using site scripts. The verb I used is
{
"verb" : "activateSPFeature",
"featureId":"7094bd89-2cfe-490a-8c7e-fbace37b4a34" //Reporting feature to be activated at site collection level
}
The activation works fine with web features, but failed at site collection level features. Is there a way to activate site collection level features using site scripts?

Same question here: Is there a way to activate site scoped features? I understand that this are actions that normally are applied to the current web, but as long as we can create Site columns, shouldn't it be logic to be able to activate site scoped features as well?
When will we have a full pallete of actions that will allow us to do most of the needed stuff without extra cost (Flow) something like executing a PS script?
Thank you in advance for your response.

Facing same issue here. Client wants to activate "Open Documents in Client Applications by Default" (8a4b8de2-6fd8-41e9-923c-c7c3c00f8295) tenant-wide, and cannot find a way to do it without a flow. Thought this was the answer, but alas, it's half-assed.

Was actually able to resolve this using an undocumented feature I found in the JSON schema. There's a "scope": "site|web" option, which lets you activate either. Confirmed this worked for my use case.
