-whatif and -confirm "SafetySwitches"

[doctorscripto]

Something that be a wonderful addition to any Cmdlets that do more than "Read" (Example, Set, Update etc) would be the addition of support for the -whatif and -confirm switches.

I can do it in PowerShell (Advanced Functions) and really it's a minor block that wraps around the code

I found an example in C# if anybody is interested

It provides a simple to implement safety gate between users and the data when using PowerShell cmdlets. I mentioned it because I was about to use a -whatif on the Set-PNPList and noticed that neither -whatif nor -confirm were there. Most Cmdlets in PowerShell that change something will have at least one or both of these parameters.
