[BUG] Set-PnPPageTextPart returns You cannot host text controls inside a one column full width section ...

Reporting an Issue or Missing Feature

Set-PnPPageTextPart returns error You cannot host text controls inside a one column full width section, only an image web part or hero web part are allowed after Microsoft pushed updates to Page layout options.

Expected behavior

Change text webpart text. The issue is probably related to the recent Microsoft updates to top page section, which now allows fullwidth section with webparts instead of only banner or hero.

Do you know when this bug will be fixed?

Hello, can you please try out the latest nightly builds and let us know ? There has been quite a few improvements in this area , hopefully helps with your issue.

We see this issue in version 3.1.0 as well.

I get issues when trying to add new sections with Add-PnPPageSection
I also get the issue when trying to add text web part with Add-PnPPageTextPart to non full width sections

"You cannot host text controls inside a one column full width section, only an image web part or hero web part are allowed"

I could reproduce the issue with Add-PnPPageTextPart, Add-PnPPageWebPart not with Add-PnPPageSection.

There is a similar issue from pnp/pnpcore#387 and the fix is to add a property "isFullWidth" somehow. I will check if it's possible.

I am also seeing this issue in our environments however with other webparts and using Set-PnPPageWebPart. Setting isFullWidth doesn't solve the problem.
