The function is returning an array of objects so you want to manipulate the output /outside/ of the function (either on the pipeline or with results stored in a variable). Like Paul shows in the first command of the second screenshot, you want to pipe the results to Format-Table where you can do the -Autosize…

Get-DirectReport -SamAccountName cio | Format-Table -Autosize

I wanted to update a group and needed a way to pull the direct reports and their direct reports. This worked flawlessly.

I can add 1 field, but if I add more, it truncates to a list even though there’s clearly enough space in the output window.
I’ve tried adding “ft | -autosize” after the customobject closes, but it formats every row as a table, which makes things worse.

It worked great! I added a few more attributes that I needed, and exported to a .csv for the end user, and it was exactly what they needed. I can definitely see using this one quite a bit in the future.
