SP 2019 On-Premise | Apply template to document library | Issue
Hello, I'm using SharePoint 2019 Server On-Premise. Task 1: Create a template of an existing document library. Task 2: Apply the newly created template to a new document library. Task 1 was successful but I'm failing to succeed with Task 2. I simply do not find the option to use an existing template. For clarification, I do not want to use a document template but a template for the document library, so the columns are copied to the new document library including the column formatting. I would appreciate pointers. Thank you and all the best, VarDumped
Cannot Apply Sensitivity Label to PDF File No Encryption Present
Hi all, I am facing an issue when trying to apply a sensitivity label to a PDF file stored in SharePoint. The error message I get is: Error: Sensitivity label cannot be applied at this time due to the nature of file's encryption. However, I can open the PDF file normally, and it does not seem to be password-protected in any way. Has anyone encountered this before? Is there a way to apply a sensitivity label to such files? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.
Issue with flat views in SharePoint Online
I use folders within a SharePoint list to organize list items. Additionally, I apply column formatting to update values in a column via button click using customRowAction (setValue). So far, so good... However, when I switch to a flat view (View without folders), this functionality no longer works, and error messages appear. This Error occures for example if I click on any displayed button. This issue occurs exclusively in the flat view and only affects items stored within folders. Additionally, there is another issue when using the Quick Edit feature to set a date field in the flat view. For items located inside a folder, the localization is incorrect. For example, if I select April 1st, SharePoint instead saves January 4th (German Localization). For items located outside a folder or when using a non-flat view, everything appears to function correctly. The attached video provides a demonstration of the issue.
TopicHeader (Text Above Title) Not Updating in SharePoint Online
Previously, I was updating the "OData_TopicHeader" property in Power Automate, and it correctly displayed as the Topic Header (text above the title) on the page. However, although the property is still being updated successfully, it no longer appears on the page as expected. Has anyone else experienced this issue, or is there an updated approach required to ensure the Topic Header displays correctly? Any insights would be appreciated.TopicHeader (Text Above Title) Not Updating in SharePoint Online

I have a PPSX file which uses the kiosk mode, because I want the navigation to be through action buttons rather than just simply clicking on the slides. I want to put a link to it on a SharePoint site. Is there a way that I can force the PPTX or PPSX file to launch in slide show mode. I'm guessing you just need to add something onto the end of the hyperlink?Export SharePoint Calendar with All Events in Calendar View
I need to export my SharePoint calendar exactly as it appears in the Calendar view, including all events for each day, without collapsing into "+X more." Currently, SharePoint does not provide a built-in feature to export the calendar in its visual month/week layout. I am looking for a solution or workaround that allows me to: Export all events while preserving the calendar layout (month/week view). Ensure no events are hidden or collapsed. Use methods such as connecting the calendar to Outlook for export/print, Power Automate to generate a report, or other feasible options. My goal is to have a complete calendar view outside of SharePoint for reporting or sharing purposes.SharePoint Calendar View Events Collapsing into “+X More” Instead of Displaying All
In the SharePoint calendar (Month view), when a specific date has more than two events, the system only displays the first two events in the day cell and collapses the remaining items into a "+X more" link. This limits visibility, as users must click to view additional events instead of seeing them directly in the calendar grid. We need a solution or customization to allow all events for a single day to be displayed within the calendar view without collapsing into +X more.
Hiding custom buttons from SharePoint column
Scenario: I have created an Power Automate instant cloud flow, linked to a custom button on a SharePoint column. The purpose of this automation and button is to send customers a PDF certificate once they have completed their training. The automation and process is working great, but I would like to tidy up the various buttons I have created, so that only one button is visible. My question is....how can I remove the additional custom buttons from the rows in the SharePoint column circled in red below. I either want one button on one row of the column (highlighted yellow). Or to alternatively put the button up on the command bar instead. I know this can be done using custom views and JSON but I have been struggling to do this so far. Any guidance would be much appreciated.Job Title missing for "some" people in People web part SharePoint online
I am using the people web part in a modern page in Sharepoint Online. Some (3) of the twenty-some people in the web part are missing their job titles. I checked, they have job titles. In fact their job titles appear in edit mode... Strange! Has anyone seem this behavior before. How do i fix this?Quick Links “Button” layout drawers stuck open on modern SharePoint page
We’re using the Quick Links web part in Button layout on a modern SharePoint Online page. Normally, the label “drawer” only appears when you hover over the button. Recently, the drawers under all buttons are stuck permanently open (see red lines below marking the title drawers that I want to disappear). We must use the Button layout for our design standards, so switching to another layout is not an option Our IT team says there’s no HTML/CSS toggle to control this, and publishing an older page version would undo recent changes without guaranteeing a fix Rebuilding the web part isn’t realistic since we don’t have all the original links and images. This has happened before, but usually it “clears up” after some time — this time it’s persistent. Has anyone else run into this? Is this a known regression with Button layout, and is there a fix? Any guidance would be appreciated.LookUp column shows up as [object Object] for single column in board view
Hi, I have seen similar questions from this topic, but I couldn't really apply to my problem. I have a SharePoint list which one of the lookup columns retrieves data from another list. This new column [Evaluated Property] allows multiple selection from the LookUp column it originates from. When viewed in list mode, the multiple selection LookUp columns results are visible (1st picture). However, when I create a board view, I get [object Object],[object Object]. I figure from other threads here in the discussion group that this can be solved using a JSON custom formatting. However, this did not seem to work. I am unsure how should I do this formatting since I am not familiar with JSON coding. Did anyone face this same issue and could suggest me how to handle this?

I am trying to export a design template for a site that I am in the Owners group for, and I have Share Point Administrator role activated. I am running the Powershell ISE as ADMIN When I run the following 2 powershell commands Connect-PnPOnline -Url https://MyDomain.sharepoint.com/sites/MySite/ -Interactive -ForceAuthentication Get-PnPSiteTemplate -Out C:\Folder\Design.xml It starts running and the thermometer bar, reads 'Site Security' and then fails immediately with the following error Get-PnPSiteTemplate : Attempted to perform an unauthorized operation.

For this project, I am attempting to load comment data from a SharePoint modern page and then re-publishing those comments exactly as they were first posted on a different site. I am able to get and post the comments, but in posting, I cannot seem to edit any property of the comment besides the comment text. Is it possible to alter the date published, author info, etc. to match the original comments? Thanks in advance!
Restrict Document Library so that only specific folders shared with a user are visible to them
We are migrating from Slack to Teams and need a historical archive of our Slack channel conversations. I have an export of my Slack channels (roughly 4000 public channels and 4000 private channels). Each channel is a separate folder with an .html copy of the conversation history of that channel. I want to create two document libraries on a communication site. One for public channels that will be shared with an org-wide group. I plan to move the 4000 public channel folders into there. This is not ideal because scrolling through the list will be very slow but it is the best solution we can think of for this. We plan to educate on how to search efficiently, or use a CoPilot agent to search. The other document library for private channels we want to also share org-wide. However I want to remove inheritance on each folder. And then assign permissions to the folder based on if you were a member of the equivalent channel in Slack. So for instance, I am a member of 40 Slack channels, so I would be granted access to just those 40 channels in the document library. My goal is that a user can access the main sharepoint page, and access the private channels document library, and only see the specific allotment of folders, rather than all 4000. Is this plan feasible? I know there are issues with list view thresholds and potentially drops in performance. How bad might they be? Am I missing anything that could derail this? And permissions management at the folder level after the fact would normally be a nightmare, however in this instance we plan to make this a locked-in-place historical archive. Users would have read-only permissions, and we will never alter the permissions on the site or libraries or folders ever.SharePoint page to display Computer Information
Is it possible to have a sharepoint page display computer information on the page from the users device (Machine name, ip, logged in user, OS Version etc)? I have a powershell script that can get this information however I've not found a way i can run this on the page when it opens. Any help would be apricated. thanks
