Hiding Built-in Modern List and Library Templates

How to hide all built-in modern List and Library templates in SharePoint Online using PowerShell.

The updated SharePoint Online method for creating new Lists and Libraries is much improved; simply click on the New dropdown menu from Site Contents

Under the “From Microsoft” tab there are a number of built-in templates available for use

Some organisations will want to restrict the use of these templates to ensure compliance with corporate IA e.g. content types with a mandatory Document Type field.

The built-in templates are hidden using SharePoint Online PS (not PnP).  First make a connection to the SharePoint Online Admin Url

Connect-SPOService [SPO ADMIN URL]

and run the command

Set-SPOTenant -EnableModernListTemplateIds [TEMPLATE ID]

Template IDs are listed here, however, this page does not list all the templates. 

The missing ID can be found by monitoring the network requests (Ctrl+Shift+I) whilst creating a new List with the template. Find the request payload to Microsoft.SharePoint.Utilities.WebTemplateExtensions.SiteScriptUtiltiy.ApplyListDesign()

e.g.
