Edit a SP list column unable to enter data
Hi, I'm trying to edit some data in a column within my SP list. The column type is Choice. The issue is the is not a 'Choice' field. When created it was going to be a Choice field but when I built the Powerapp that is feeding data to this column is has become a lookup field. So in my app the user selects Division and then the wards in the division are available for selection in the Ward field. Sort(Distinct) formula used looking at another SP list SharePoint PowerApp This as caused an issue as I need to edit one some values in the Division and Ward columns in SP. Can I amend the column values to Single line of text, without losing any of the data?? If not is there away I can amend, edit the data??
SharePoint Server Subscription Edition (on-prem) REST API call via oAuth
This is a SharePiont Server Subscription Edition on-prem farm. and Extrnal application needs to use data from SharePoint via REST api calls. Need to setup external application to use SharePoint data from REST api via oAuth. 1) What are the steps i need to follow? 2) can this be supported by SharePoint Only App authentication (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/dev/solution-guidance/security-apponly-azureacs) for SPSE on-prem? Any sample REST based API calls to get tokens and call SharePoint would be really helpful. 3) Is it possible to use Azure AD app in for the same? if so how to configure trust between Azure AD and SPSE on-prem farm?Download and Access Issues for External Users with SharePoint “Anyone” link sharing option.
Hi All, We are looking for help resolving a recurring issue with file sharing in SharePoint. All files and folders we share with external customers use the “Anyone” sharing link option (Anyone with the link can access). Despite this, we regularly face these problems: Customers can view files but cannot always download them from the browser (for example, using the "Create a Copy”, “Download a Copy" or "Save as" option in the PowerPoint files). Sometimes, sharing the parent folder (containing the file) link allows the external user to download, even though the file link itself does not. The problem is intermittent and not linked to settings or policies—sometimes everything works, sometimes it does not, even when we generate new links. No restrictive site, library, or organizational policies are applied; “Block download” is not set and full link access is confirmed. Using a private/incognito tab sometimes enables the link to work when it otherwise fails in a normal browser session, but not always. We want to understand why this happens and whether there is an underlying issue, known bug, or additional configuration we should review that could make “Anyone” links unpredictable for downloads with external users. Has anyone else experienced similar issues? If so, how did you resolve it, or are you still searching for answers? We’d really appreciate hearing your experiences and suggestions! Thank you for your advice and support!M365 AuditLogs do not show a CascadeDelete operation
I have a few lists in SPO that are connected (call them Parent, Child1, Child2 for example) via lookup columns. I am trying to implement a delete item action in the parent list that would delete the related items in Child1, Child2 etc., that are pointing to this. The Cascade Delete operation itself works but when I am reviewing the AuditLogs for the operation, I am only seeing a ListItemViewed operation against the item in the Parent List that I am deleting. In the browser trace, I can see us making a POST to /_api/web/lists(@a1)/GetItemById(@a2)/recycle?@a1={LISTID}&@a2={ITEMID} for this action.
Restrict a library view for document uploader
Want to create a SP library where people will be uploading documents from different departments. Is there a way that i can lockdown a view where anybody coming in can only see their own uploads? Maybe use the last modified column or create a person column? The owner and small group does need the ability to see them all. tyAutomatically email supplier when their certificate expires
Good afternoon. I have set myself a challenge and really could do with some help. I have a list of suppliers like below. I have expiry dates set up, with a colour formatting to show any date past the current date. On the end of the row, there is an email address of the company contact. I want SharePoint to automatically email that person as soon as it turns red/expires. What is the simplest way of doing this? I have looked at Flows etc, and online on video tutorials, but some of the guides are old and out of date or very complex and I am a novice. Is anyone kindly, can give me a step-by-step guide on how to do this, as this would be just awesome and finally bring my company into the 21st century! Thanks in advance.
Sharepoint Online Templates / Provisioning.
Hello everyone, I have a SharePoint online site that is as close as possible to being a template for my tenant. I'd like to save this site and make it available to me when I need to create a standard site for my tenant. Do you know if there is a possibility to save it and then pick it in the SharePoint list of templates in the creation phase in SharePoint? I know there is a PnP solution; however, after trying it I've had some bad results when trying to use a script with Get-PnPSiteTemplate many times it doesn't replicate the site correctly. I essentially need to take one SharePoint site, and just replicate the structure, DLs, Lists, Views, pages, designs, colours and thumbnails, no files needed. Possibly saving it as a template, but if not possible, just provision it via PnP PowerShell would be enough. Do you have any suggestions or scripts to recommend, or can you point me to any resources?Unusual Activity for a User
Hi, I have an issue with a user who raised a query that they are having issues syncing files to SharePoint. Whilst I'm investigating this another query came in advising that this same user has been creating folders and uploading documents...... They have confirmed that there account has not been shared and can confirm from the signing in logs on Entra that no suspicious IP address is being used. Anyone have any idea of what is occurring?? I've advised the user to delete any links they have and stop syncing. Regards Chris
SharePoint Document-ID and Chinese characters braking search
I am struggling with a strange phenomenon. We use the Document-ID on SharePoint extensively, especially for searching. So we search specifically for SharePoint Document-IDs, e.g., EMTS-1223334444-123, to find the document. This works fine with 10 million documents, except for PDF documents with Chinese characters. I can search for phrases in the text content or other properties, and everything is found. Only the search by Document-ID does not work.
Create new site through App Reg auth and associate it with a hub site
Hi all, I have created a Logic App in Azure and I am using this Logic App to create new team sites (no Microsoft 365 group) in SharePoint Online. For the authentication I have created an app registration (Sites.FullControl.All) and created a self-signed certificate for the authentication. For the audience I am using the https://tenantname-admin.sharepoint.com I am using the following request URL: https://tenantname-admin.sharepoint.com/_api/SPSiteManager/create I am using the following request headers: Accept = application/json;odata.metadata=none odata-version = 4.0 I use the following request body: { "request": { "Title": "Site name", "Url": "<project number variable>", "Lcid": 1043, "Description": "Just some text", "WebTemplate": "STS#3", "Owner": "email address removed for privacy reasons", "SensitivityLabel": "Sensitivity label GUID", "HubSiteId": "Hub site ID" } } Somehow, I get an unauthorized error. When I omit the HubSiteId parameter, it works fine. In the SharePoint admin center I have not configured users that are authorized to associate sites with the hub sites. I also tried to assign the app registration through PowerShell, but it doesn't work. My question is, how can I authorize the app registration to associate the site with the hub site specified upon creating the new site? Thanks for all help provided!

I have a sharepoint list and some of the items cannot be edited because of the number of versions. I have the versioning set at 50, but some of these uneditable items somehow got up to over 10,000. Any ideas on how to resolve or how they got so high? Thanks
Permission settings only to edit my record
Hi. I have a List connected with Power Apps, so i have to share permissions with the autors to create and edit. However, if they enter to the list on SharePoint they can edit everything, their own records and those which other users created. In my process this action shouldn't happen ¿Is there some way to set a permission where I can only edit the records that I have created?Tables in Word Docs Stored on SharePoint Breaking
Custom Table Styles are breaking in Word documents stored on SharePoint. This started a week ago after a recent Office update. A solution of having only one person editing the document at a time defeats the purpose of SharePoint collaboration. Always editing in the desktop app is not a reliable solution either; not all tools are available in the browser. Tables break and fix themselves without intervention - sometimes in the desktop app and sometimes in the browser. Any insight is appreciated.
Microsoft 365 Developer Program - Sandbox Eligibility
I was excited to hear all of the buzz around the revamped M365 Dev Program and eligibility for MAICPP participants (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/office/developer-program/microsoft-365-developer-program) especially for the sandbox subscription benefit: Eligible MAICPP partner levels include: Azure Expert Managed Service Providers (MSP) Solutions Partners Specialization Partners Managed Partners Microsoft Action Pack Subscribers Partner Success Core Benefits Recipients Partner Success Expanded Benefits Recipients Partner Launch Benefits Recipients Legacy Gold/Silver Partners However, when I log into my dashboard (https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/profile), it says "you don't currently qualify for..." instead of the experience outlined in the help docs and announcements. Has anyone been able to provision a new M365 sandbox subscription with the new provisioning method? I have reached out to partner support, but they referred me to the dev program alias and nobody there has replied. I have also tried to use my Visual Studio subscription as mentioned in the docs, but that doesn't work either. I did have a developer subscription before the overhaul (active 2-3 years ago) and, as part of trying to get a new sandbox, clicked on the "delete profile" button on my dashboard. Maybe it will "unlock" after the 60 day waiting period (as described in the docs), but this process seems way too difficult...especially with the new "automatic" eligibility check described in the updated process. I'm currently using a prod tenant to do the things that I should be doing in a sandbox, so I hope there is an update that brings clarity to this program soon. Has anyone been able to create a new sandbox since the program was updated last month? Any tips, tricks or contacts that can help with this?
Sharepoint view level permissions
Hello, I’m facing an issue in SharePoint. I have a main list where I need to create two views one for “A” users and another for “B” users. What should change is, for example, that “A” users can only see column “A” and “B” users can only see column “B”. And being sensitive data, they shouldn't be able see each other's columns. Using different lists is the only viable way I currently see this working, which i don't really want since this requires a lot more of work, unless someone can suggest a better solution. Note that currently I'm using two different pages inside the same website for user's "A" and "B". Thank you very much.Two global navigation bars?
On the top of any page, I have the top navigation (Using Managed Navigation). But there is also another navigation bar directly below this one (which add a link for 'help') on some of the subsites, libraries, lists, etc. I am pulling out my hair trying to figure out where this is coming from and how to get rid of this. Can anyone help me, please?
