It makes my code useless for keeping for example 'Country Code' as list's field. I have seen similar issue before with 4-digit strings, so maybe it is related.\n\nPlease, take a moment to look at this.\n\nhere some screenshots:\n\nlist in SP (just field 'code' and its values) :\n\n\u003cimg width=\"178\" height=\"303\" alt=\"Image\" src=\"https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/13a8e144-e0ca-4ba1-986a-91d6e7543bb4\" /\u003e\n\nand my code results:\n\n\u003cimg width=\"267\" height=\"100\" alt=\"Image\" src=\"https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/185229b7-7e7b-41f9-ad2c-3bf03778cd56\" /\u003e\n\n\n### Expected behavior\n\nExpected behavior would be to display 'code' the same way as it is in SharePoint list, means:\nPT\nPTA\n..\n\n\n### How to reproduce\n\nTo reproduce please just create new list with text field. Then add value 'PT' to this field and try to use await client.sites.by_site_id(site_id).lists.by_list_id(list_id).items.get(request_configuration=request_config) for entried reading.\n\n### SDK Version\n\n1.40.0\n\n### Latest version known to work for scenario above?\n\n_No response_\n\n### Known Workarounds\n\n_No response_\n\n### Debug output\n\n\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eClick to expand log\u003c/summary\u003e\n```\n\n\u003cLog output here\u003e\n\n```\n\u003c/details\u003e\n\n\n### Configuration\n\n_No response_\n\n### Other information\n\n_No response_","author":{"url":"https://github.com/SirTomRat","@type":"Person","name":"SirTomRat"},"datePublished":"2025-09-08T21:02:02.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":0},"url":"https://github.com/1340/msgraph-sdk-python/issues/1340"}
