Microsoft
if we just leave the Microsoft bashing alone for a minute and focus on the issue please. This thread is based on new functionality that MS is adding (despite your belief that it existed before). My question was around this particular thread in regards to the what the authors of this thread have posted. So, if you don't have input around what I'm asking, that's fine. I'm hoping someone else does.
But, your claim that you can "save site as template" per some hack that was written in 2019 in this link: http://webbrewers.com/modern-sharepoint-create-a-site-template-yes-communications-sites-too/ is not valid. Save as site template is not supported in modern sites. Period. I have tried this with all the workarounds. And, we simply cannot.
Further, MS clearly posts this here:
