I wrote a script to add files to a document library within SharePoint. Pretty straightforward, however I now want to add that same file to a different document library depending on if certain criteria is met. Something like:

if ($Value -eq "DocumentLibrary1") {
    Add-PnPFile -Path $Path -Folder "DocumentLibrary1" -Values $HashTable

    Write-Host "PAUSE-------POLICY-----------------------" - ForegroundColor red -BackgroundColor white

    Add-PnPFile -Path $Path -Folder "DocumentLibrary2" -Values $HashTable
}
else {
    Add-PnPFile -Path $Path -Folder "DocumentLibrary3" - Values $HashTable
}

However this does not work for some reason and only add to the one document library (Document LIbrary 1 in my example) and skips over the rest. It doesn't even do the "Write" command i have immediately after even though the document gets added. Why is that?

• The behavior you describe could indicate that you're not actually running the latest version of your script - how are you executing the code? – Mathias R. Jessen Commented Mar 10 at 15:39
• I'm copy and pasting the whole script into the terminal – DanielJ Commented Mar 10 at 15:46

Apparantly i've been hitting the else this whole time and not the If. Should've added a write host to the Else. Thank you all for your help
