Make fields required in the new list form, but not the list.
I want to have 2 different forms feed into my list. Each form has different required fields. As far as I can see I can hide required fields in the form and submit the form fine, but when I view the list it highlights a lot of errors asking for required fields. Some fields are relevant to one request and not the other request submitted via the form. It would be great if we could make the fields only required in the form and not in the list. I'm probably going to have to go back to using MS Forms for this project. It's really irritating that any attached flows also need to deal with the required fields in the list and update them each time. All I want to do is update the approval status, but I also have to update 5 fields.
How to set time limit for a SharePoint Calendar?
Hi, I have created an event calendar and I want if a user creates a event he/she have option to choose event start and end date with time. This feature is already OOTT but I want to set that end time won't exceed 4 hours from start time. For eg. If start time is 7th feb 2021 10:00AM selected and the end time is 7th feb 2021 03:00 PM selected then it will show that user an error "End time shouldn't exceed 4 hours from Start Time." Is there any JavaScript code available to help solving this issue or any List Validation formula?? Please help.
Creating Web Apps that use SSL
Hello, I just built a new Subscription Edition farm and when I deploy web/apps using port 80 (no ssl), the IIS sites get provisioned across all WFEs. However, when I deploy a web/app and select SSL, I have 2 issues: The installed certificates do not show up in the SSL drop down menu in Central Admin. The web/app gets created in central admin but the IIS site only gets provisioned in the central admin. I also notice that the certificate binding is not present in IIS and I have to manually bind the certificate. I can browse the site locally on the central admin. However, the IIS site does not get provisioned in any of the other WFEs. Has anyone experienced this? Regards, Rumi
SharePoint Columns - ID Records from Different List
I have two separate lists, with one recording active items to be updated and worked, and the other list is intended to collect data as an artifact/intake form. However, with limitations of Power Automate and the data sensitivity involved, I only have the option to create a SharePoint MS List to collect data from the user and populate the data manually in the active item list. Is there any way I can create a column in SharePoint that exports the values in the Intake list based on the active item IDs (i.e., date, numeric value) dynamically, so that users can only choose drop-down options that exist? I have ideas for data validation before the final record is updated, but it would be much easier if users had the option to see those values. Otherwise, it appears I would need to update the choices/options for the columns. Please let me know if I can clarify my question at all. I am still pretty new to SharePoint, so any help or suggestions is greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!
Issues cloning Teams/SharePoints - takes long, fails and won't be provisioned
Hello out there, currently we are facing issues when cloning a team via different apps. For example third party tool (provider already contacted so ..) or even via graph api with powerautomate/logic apps. Since last friday teams are taking way to long (can take upon several hours) before they are created. Normally it doesnt take more than 10 minutes. Settings and channels are not being cloned either when the team has been created, they take even more time or are not created anyways. No outdated secrets or certificates here .. everything is fine and has worked before. No changes made in the app in Azure and so on .. . Graph API says it can't find the list even if the SharePoint of the group has been created successfully - Time delay is also implemented. Permissions for the app registration are also correctly set and worked in the past. Anybody facing similar issues?Anyway to give customize view permission without manage lists?
In my org, we provide Sharepoint Online sites to users "as-is", for a specific use case and the "manage lists" permission is a no-no. But we would still like to allow them to customize existing list views. e.g. show/hide columns and set column order and width. Is there any way to have one without the other?

Can we force Sharepoint doc links to open in new tab? Links are in dynamic lists generated via HCWP
We're creating a modern Sharepoint team site to store a few hundred documents. Each page covers a specific topic/theme, and our documents are tagged with the corresponding topic/theme using managed metadata. I've added a highlighted content web part to each page of the site to display filtered lists of relevant documents. So far so good. My manager would like the links in the dynamic lists to open in a new browser tab. I can't find a way of achieving this. CoPilot said I could add a ScriptEditor web part to each page and paste a bit of code into it, then immediately contradicted itself. ChatGPT says there's no out-of-the-box solution but suggested various workarounds that either involve PowerShell or the Sharepoint Framework (SPFx). We have no in-house technical knowledge of either. Does anybody know if there's a fairly simple non-technical way of managing how links behave? I read that it's possible in a QuickLinks web part, but I think we have to use HCWP to generate these lists.
Email to Assignee with SharePoint items created in past week and assigned to the email recipient
Going into this it seemed straightforward, but I've been banging my head against the Power Automate wall. We have a SharePoint list with a number of columns, one of which is basically Assigned to (it's titled Ticket created by). The ask from our user group is that the Ticket created by value/personnel is sent a weekly email and the body of the email includes a table with 4 column values of any new SharePoint items created in the past 7 days that have been assigned to them. There are about 30 individuals who could be in the Ticket created by column and not all of those individuals will have new items each week. So, if there are no new items for the person, there will not be an email. Originally, the flow was triggered upon creation and the Ticket created by personnel would receive an email with a bit of info from their SharePoint list item formatted in a table. This worked fine and still does. However, the new ask is that we move away from an automated flow and use a scheduled flow that runs weekly and displays x, y, and z values from the new items created in the past week and assigned to the recipient of the email. This is where I'm stumped. How do I include in the body of the email values of new SharePoint items (1) created in the past 7 days and (2) assigned to the To: recipient (Ticket created by value) of the email?Revolving Title Section-Home Page
Hi everyone, I want to create a revolving banner in the Homepage Title Section and was considering using the PnP Modern Script Editor Web Part. I understand that modern SharePoint pages don’t support the classic Script Editor, but this PnP version seems like a workaround. Has anyone successfully used this in the title area? Are there any limitations or better alternatives? Thanks!Preservation hold library due to retention labels applied by an adaptive scopes policy
Hi I have an organisation that has recently changed branding and ownership. They have many Tb in SharePoint that needs to be deleted so they are not in breach. Steps taken to remove this content is to remove the property used by the adaptive scope, remove disposition labels from all libraries and then delete from the site information page. In the SharePoint site under site information when selecting delete- a warning comes up that corresponds to items that have a disposition label being present in the PHL. I can not adjust items in the PHL due to its immutable nature. If I go to the admin centre and delete from there then the site does go to the right place in the deleted site list. However, access is retained on the site and if I restore and delete again it comes up with a warning due to the PHL. I am a loss of what to do - sometimes I consider a group law suit against Microsoft because of the stress their tools cause (kick starter anyone?)! I have no confidence that the first delete from the admin centre does anything, I can't remove or change items I'm the PHL and I can't remove the label as only some of the site locations where it is present need to go. Any advice on what to do?Get page views into column
I can see there is a standard column for "Like count" but not for "page views"? I want these 2 columns sitting side by side in the page library list. How can i get page views into a column? Currently the information only seems to be accessible by going to the "Details" icon.pnp Search-Ristrect data source to a specific SharePoint Library
