How to make POST/PATCH request to add Hyperlink/Picture field in List?

Question

I am trying to make a POST Request via Microsoft Graph Explorer Version v1 as well as Beta, to a list that has field of type HyperLink/Picture. I added request body for that field as

{  
	"fields": {
		"fieldName": {
            "Description": "This is desc",
            "Url": "abc.com"
        }
	}
}

But, this is giving invalidRequest error, which looks like

{
    "error": {
        "code": "invalidRequest",
        "message": "Invalid request",
        "innerError": {
            "date": "2023-10-05T07:49:15",
            "request-id": "XXXXXXXX-96c4-4a63-abcd-XXXXXXXXXXX",
            "client-request-id": ""
        }
    }
}

I went through a existing similar query - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/648271/upload-image-to-sharepoint-list-using-graph-api which was posted in 2021, but there is no solution to it. What is the issue? How can I make this request using GraphAPI?

Hi @Vikharankar, Vishakha,

Per my research, currently we are still unable to update Hyperlink column by graph api. As a workaround, I would recommend you to use rest api to update the column. Here is a similar issue with yours to reference

Currently, if this still isn't supported, that's lame.
