Microsoft Lists, bad links at pictures
About a year ago, I created a list in Microsoft Lists and filled a "Picture" column with photos. It's now located at https://lists.live.com/. The images stopped displaying in March 2025 and several times before that. Only a placeholder image with an ID (e.g., "https://learn-attachment.microsoft.com/api/attachments/5a9a22e9-7005-4772-a54f-9ca6434db3bb?platform=QnA") is shown. The problem occurs in the browser (Chrome), in the Lists desktop application, and in the Android app. I've tried it on three PCs and two mobile devices, and the problem appears the same everywhere. I suspect there's something wrong with the link between the image in the list and the Microsoft server. How can this problem be solved? When clicking on a corrupt picture/link I end in a new browser tab showing this: { "error": { "code": "invalidRequest", "message": "Invalid request" } }
PnP Search Results Handlebars template saves but does not reflect on UI
Hi everyone, I am working with the PnP Search Results web part in SharePoint Online and facing an issue where a custom Handlebars result template saves successfully but does not reflect on the UI. I created a table-style Handlebars template with columns Document, Region, Country, Language, Status and Validation Date, one row per document. Documents are returned correctly and filters based on the same refinable properties work as expected. Debug output using JSONstringify(item) confirms that all refinable values are present. The same if-condition logic using item.RefinableStringXX works in a list-style layout, but in a table layout the template saves without errors and either does not reflect on the UI or renders rows with empty metadata columns. Inline bindings do not render unless wrapped in if blocks and even after fixing this the UI sometimes continues to show the previous layout. Managed property mappings, selected properties, indexing and library reindexing have already been verified. Has anyone experienced this behavior with PnP Search Results templates or knows if this is related to caching, result types overriding templates or a known limitation with table-style Handlebars layouts?
Sharepoint site's customized column become 'Read-Only'
We have a SharePoint Intranet that has been in active use for 14+ months. I have a customized column Expiration Date for News Expiry. Recently, all custom columns added to Site Pages (Page Details) or News pages have become read-only immediately after clicking Save. Key points: - Issue occurs for ALL column types (Date, Date & Time, Text, etc.) - Fields are editable for the first time. - As soon as Save is clicked and page or news came to draft status and the field become read-only. - Happens for both Draft and Published pages. - Editing in Site Pages library Grid view still works. - This behavior started recently without any configuration changes. Has anyone else experienced this?
Thumbnails broken
Hi All I'm new here, I have a SP list that has an image column, it's an older list so the images are still stored in Site assets. It's the back end of a Powerapp. The problem I have is that some of the images won't render in some thumbnail sizes in my app. So some images render small, medium and large but not full and others render in small medium, full. I think it has something to do with when I updated a record in my app. but for now I would like to know how to repair the image column. I'm fairly sure it's Sharepoint issue, as when I select an image in the list, it sometimes does not preview as a large image. Any help would be much appreciated.
Call SharePoint Server Subscription Edition REST API via App Only Authentication
Need to call SharePoint Server Subscription Edition REST API via App Only Authentication and found below article. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/dev/solution-guidance/security-apponly-azureacs can i do this using TokenHelper.cs as suggested in the article? Seems request tires to access ACS because of below settings in TokenHelper.cs and requests timeout since the code is executed from a Server where no access to Azure ACS. private static string GlobalEndPointPrefix = "accounts"; private static string AcsHostUrl = "accesscontrol.windows.net"; Any support on how to do this for On-Prem SharePoint is really appreciated.Group Calendar Web Part Pop Up Color
We have created a branding theme for modern sharepoint sites to match corporate colors. When clinking on a Group Calendar event, the pop up now applies a background color we didn't have in the theme as primary or secondary. Just seems to be auto selected by SP. It's too dark to read the text. I've found the Them in the classic _catalog Theme Gallery and can pull the theme into NotePad to read it but can't seem to tell which variable controls the background of pop ups. Just need it to be white (ffffff). Anyone have a solution? {"name":"(Company Theme Name)","isInverted":false,"palette":{"themeDarker":"#243360","themePrimary":"#17244C","themeSecondary":"#5e6d9b","themeTertiary":"#7885af","themeLight":"#94a0c2","themeLighter":"#b3bcd6","themeLighterAlt":"#d6dbea","black":"#000000","neutralDark":"#201f1e","neutralPrimary":"#323130","neutralPrimaryAlt":"#3b3a39","neutralSecondary":"#605e5c","neutralTertiary":"#a19f9d","neutralTertiaryAlt":"#c8c8c8","neutralLight":"#eaeaea","neutralLighter":"#f4f4f4","neutralLighterAlt":"#f8f8f8","white":"#ffffff","neutralQuaternaryAlt":"#dadada","neutralQuaternary":"#d0d0d0"},"displayMode":"light","secondaryColors":{"light":[{"themePrimary":"#ffffff","backgroundColor":"#17244C"},{"themePrimary":"#6BC289"},{"themePrimary":"#ffffff","backgroundColor":"#6BC289"},{"themePrimary":"#26A9E1"},{"themePrimary":"#ffffff","backgroundColor":"#26A9E1"},{"themePrimary":"#1B75BC"},{"themePrimary":"#ffffff","backgroundColor":"#1B75BC"},{"themePrimary":"#E7EBF6"},{"themePrimary":"#ffffff","backgroundColor":"#E7EBF6"},{"themePrimary":"#ACBFE3"},{"themePrimary":"#ffffff","backgroundColor":"#ACBFE3"},{"themePrimary":"#B6BBBF"},{"themePrimary":"#ffffff","backgroundColor":"#B6BBBF"}],"dark":[]}}

Size increase of .sppkg packages with heft/v1.22
After upgrading our solution to SPFx 1.22.rc-0 and switching to the new heft build toolchain our .sppkg packages have suddenly grown massively in size. They are more than double the size of the 1.21 version. Is there a reason for this? Is there anything we can do to reduce the package size back to what it was previously? Our main solution contains both web parts and list extensions, split into several bundles. Let me know what other details would be helpful.Best Practice guide for stretched HA farm?
Hi, Im planning a SharePoint Subscription farm over 2 data centers. Should be pretty simple. Farm will consist of: dc 1: 1 spfe, 1 spapp, 1 sql dc 2: 1 spfe, 1 spapp, 1 sql Sql servers will be AlwaysOn. Im not sure how to set up the sp servers. Is there a preferred way to set it up, with how to? Our domains have 10gb connections so should be more than sufficient for stretched and HA. Can CA site be hosted from multiple servers? How are IPs/DNS/certs handled? What else do I need to get my head around? Thanks. Swan
Creating a slide show from a list webpart- Brainstorming
I have a SP list that i want to do a slideshow onto a page. It's basically to showcase achievements with a column (yes/no) to filter. it's all text, no pictures, just to displaying what happened and want it to be automatic to scroll through. tried hero webpart, and that did not work. Used list webpart which of course just shows the whole list. Though about making an power app, but i couldn't figure out how it would be able to showcase each item on the list automatically with me creating a new screen every time one is submitted. Any suggestions will be useful. ty
Is Creating Multiple ClientContext Instances Efficient in CSOM for one Site Url?
Is it efficient to create a new ClientContext for each site URL and for each query, such as getting site users, lists, groups, and group members from the Web object? These queries can return a very large number of items, and CSOM does not support paging when retrieving data from Web properties. Because of this, there is a risk of memory issues. In this case, is creating multiple ClientContext objects a good approach? Also, how does ClientContext work internally, and how does it handle memory and performance?Patching SSSE
Having read all the documentation about CUs for SSSE I am still none the wiser as much of what is written, in the many related webpages, appears ambigous, unclear and contraditory to me. Could anyone clarify two points: If, say,the December 2025 CU is installed, does it included all security and non security fixes for all features in SSSE? Will Windows Update install the latest CE every month without any intervention including upgrading databases etc? Thanks for any advice ZDHow to restore a single file deleted 6 months ago - using M365 Backup?
My friend's company uses Sharepoint Online, but relevant folders are synced to their OneDrive so they manage everything in File Explorer. I have Microsoft 365 Backup enabled on their Sharepoint site. This company has all the parent folders in "Site Contents". These folders include Sales, HR, Clients, etc. I need to restore a single file out of Sales but it appears I need to restore the entire site first, sync the Sales folder from the site ending in /R0 to my OneDrive, then copy/paste from my File Explorer. Yes, I am a NOOB in Sharepoint. What's the right way to grab this file? And if it's ditching M365 Backup, then that's what I'll do, but I still need to get this file.SharePoint 2013 Newsfeed
I have a largely cosmetic problem. I have deleted and re-created someone's mysite (OneDrive). Now works fine. However, the landing page is the Newsfeed. It is stuck on an error about setting up OneDrive. It doesn't seem to have noticed OneDrive is fine. What I want to do is just reset the Newsfeed to its defaults. It looks like it is "stuck" as if OneDrive is broken. In SharePoint 2013 can I reset a NewsFeed page for a user in a non-disruptive way because the user now has data on their OneDrive. Stephen

Microsoft 365 Developer Program - Infinite "Loading your information" loop
Hello, I am trying to sign up for the Developer program as I am trying to complete the PL 400 certification and I want to complete the exercises that are part of the course. However, I am trying to get access to Power Apps and I can't due to not having a school or work email. So I tried using signing up for Developer Program using my personal email ....@hotmail.co.uk and it was giving me that infinite loop. Is there a way around this, I would really like access to power apps as it will really help me understand the course a lot better and actually allow me to practice what I am learning. Have other had this issue and how have they got around it. There is no way that only people with work or school emails want to complete these certifications. Hope someone can help MarkSharePoint Document Libraries: New UX, AI Actions & Forms Explained
