Add support to the IWeb WebTemplatesGalleryFirstRunEnabled property

• Domain model extension

Describe the domain model extension

The IWeb already supports the boolean property to manage the first run of the next steps wizard through NextStepsFirstRunEnabled. Another property called WebTemplatesGalleryFirstRunEnabled controls if the web template gallery should be displayed. Latter is missing in IWeb.

Additional Information

Properties can be controlled with these examples:

Do you have a recommendation how to temporarily add a batch request for a missing property until the SDK is supporting this?

@plamber : adding this one right now, can trigger an extra nightly build if you need it today

Would be awesome. Would this be the right approach to patch the Web and add it as Batch?

string body = SerializeJSON(new
{
    WebTemplatesGalleryFirstRunEnabled = false
});
var accessRequest = new ApiRequest(HttpMethod.Patch, ApiRequestType.SPORest, "_api/web", body);
web.ExecuteRequestBatch(accessRequest);

See https://pnp.github.io/pnpcore/using-the-sdk/basics-customapirequests.html#batching-custom-api-requests for the batching of custom API calls.

I've just pushed the change, if you can wait for 30 minutes there's a new nightly release that contains this, so then you don't need to fall back to a custom API call

Nightly nuget release running, when you see version 1.8.37 appearing then that's the version that contains this change

Thank you. Highly appreciated
