After changing choice column type from multi choice to choice back I have lost all values
Dear Ladies and Gentlemen, after changing choice column type from multi choice to choice back I have lost all values in a SharePoint online list. Originally the type was choice and there were single values in the list items. Then later the type has been changed into multi choice. Then I have changed it back to choice. After that I have lost all values in all items. Is this the expected behavior? In case yes, could it be changed, that the original single values will sustain after such change? Thank you for your answer. With best regards Ladislav Stupak
Automations and AI Skills
I am attempting to set up one of my AI Skills to automatically activate when a new document is added to my library. From what I can tell, the best way to do this is through SharePoint Workflows and customize via Power Automate. I am not very familiar with Power Automate, but I cannot find a good way to link my AI Skill to the automation! I have tried the "Execute Agent" action, but I am getting a 404 error (response is not in a JSON format) when I try to run it. Has anyone been able to successfully link AI Skills to automations? Is Power Automate the right tool to be using? How do I troubleshoot my 404 error?
Clarification on SharePoint Macro Consent Flow and Permissions
Hi Team, We have a customer using SharePoint in a secure environment. While configuring the Prolaborate SharePoint Macro on their site, a consent popup is displayed during the approval process. Previously, our macro implementation used the Admin Consent flow. Based on the customer’s security and approval requirements, we have modified the consent to use the User Consent flow instead. The customer has requested additional clarification regarding the consent process. Specifically, they would like to understand: The exact API calls triggered for these two consents View your basic profile Maintain access to data you have given it access to The permissions being requested from Microsoft Graph or SharePoint Whether the application requests any tenant-wide or high-privilege permissions Whether minimal permissions such as Sites.Selected can be used instead of broader scopes Current concern: The customer feels the current permission request is too broad for approval within their secure environment (Banking customer). Reason: Their internal approval process requires clear visibility into the exact API and permission scopes being requested, as different permissions are reviewed and approved by different internal teams (for example, User.Read is managed by the Identity team). From our implementation side, we are using only custom APIs and are not directly calling Microsoft Graph APIs. This information will help us provide a clear response to the customer and support their internal approval process.Clarification on SharePoint Macro Consent Flow and Permissions

I have been advised to use this flexible section for more freedom with placement on the grid. Once a text web part or any web part is dragged from the toolbox onto this flexible section it becomes immobile. Neither the Move cursor state nor the Move web part handle on said web part allows the web part itself to be moved in any way inside this section. Screen captures included below for clarity.

New sandbox subscription not avaible - You don't current qualify
Hello, I joined the Microsoft 365 Developer Program today with a personal Microsoft account. After completing the join process, my dashboard shows I don't qualify for a sandbox subscription / no tenant was provisioned. Could someone please review my account and help enable the E5 sandbox subscription? Thank you.New Sharepoint Quick Access - Want "Sites" back
I want the Sites back on my quick access menu - I don't want to have to go through "Discover" it just adds an obnoxious extra step and I can get there clicking on the Sharepoint logo on the top left - having another button to take you to the hub is pointless. How do I get Sites back on the quick access?
How to update a specific set of SharePoint list records after changing variables in Power Apps.
I have a timesheet app that captures start and end times. Within the associated SharePoint list, there are calculated fields. I have these fields included on the Power Apps form. The problem is that the calculated fields are not updating after the Patch action (updates or new saves). I tried the REFRESH action, but it is not refreshing the calculations. The only way I have found to view the updated calculations in the Power App is to filter the list to a different set of records, then back to the original. Once the filter returns to the original updated records, the new calculated results can be viewed. There has to be an easier way to do this.
SharePoint on-prem issue with OneNotes
Hello guys, have you experienced the same issue? I’m on the Current Channel of M365 desktop apps (build 20026.20182), and the OneNote desktop app is not syncing notebooks from either a SharePoint 2016 on-prem farm or a SharePoint Subscription Edition farm. The OneNote app crashes after 10 seconds while trying to sync. Microsoft OneNote desktop error: We couldn’t open that location. It might not exist, or you might not have permission to open it. (However, I do have sufficient permissions.) It was working perfectly fine on the previous build (20026.20166).How do I get quick actions to show up in Gallery view for a list?
Hello, I'm creating a sharepoint list of employees. I create quick actions for sending an employee a teams message or an email, and they work fine in list view. However, in gallery view they don't show up. The field title is displayed, but there's nothing inside, which I've highlighted with a red box. Is it possible to get the quick action buttons to appear in this view?New Button Greyed Out on Initial Page Load
Our client has reported a rather odd behavior involving list view web parts on a page on a classic page after installing the May CU. The “(+) New” button is greyed out on the initial load of the page and is not clickable. But if you click anywhere inside the webpart, it lights up and turns blue. Every time the page is reloaded or revisited, the New button reverts to grey and unclickable. The source list works fine in both classic and new experience. This is a new behavior change. Has anyone else observed this?The uploaded documents are not shown on page reload for document library web part
We observe a very strange behavior with all of document library web parts on all tenants where we tested. Problem Definition Newly added document disappears after page refresh. If you refresh second time the file appears. Steps to Reproduce 1. We have a document library web part with modern experiences. 2. A user uploads a document - the document is immediately visible in the UI. 3. The user reloads a page 4. The uploaded document disappears. You can use drag-n-drop upload, or upload button, it doesn't matter. Sometimes you need a few refreshes until file appears in the UI. It doesn't matter how many time you wait after the initial upload - for example you can upload a file, wait 5 minutes, then refresh - the file will disappear, then refresh again - it will appear. This is the video demonstrating the problem (uploaded on github): Video Expected Behavior: The recently uploaded document should not disappear after the page refresh. Additional Information: Browser: Chrome 149.0.7827.104 (Official Build) (64-bit) Anybody has the same problem?Assign rating to individual Choice items?
Hello, I'm trying to create a Sharepoint list of employees and their respective skills. Each skill has a rating from 1-4 indicating how proficient they are in it. Is there any way to implement this in a Sharepoint list besides manually creating 4 different versions of each skill? If not, is there a better way of implementing this? If possible, I want to keep this in Sharepoint to make it easy to access.
How to filter "Managed Metadata" column in sharepoint using power automate
Hi Community, I need to fetch the files from my sharepoint lib where we have Textimonial field named "Department" with value = "Purchasing" using power automate flow. But since its a Managed metadata field, I cannot able to get the field value in the ouput of my "Get_files_Property" action. Please help on this part. Thanks!List rules
Hi everyone, since the legacy list alerts have been retired and rules came in, users with read permissions are not able to create rules without leveraging the power automate service. in my opinion read inly users should be able to create alerts based on a separate role action. at the same time, alert related action are still active under permissions level options. is there anyone else trying to provide rule action to read only users and is so how did you proceed? Kind regards, George StylianouSharePoint Online - Issues Saving Site as Template and Activating .wsp Solutions
Hello everyone, Recently I have been experiencing issues when saving a SharePoint site as a template and activating .wsp files within the Solution Gallery. This appears to be a recent change, as the same process and templates have worked successfully in the past. I wanted to see whether anyone else has recently experienced issues with SharePoint site templates (.wsp) in SharePoint Online. Findings: Site type is a Classic Team Site. Custom Script is enabled (DenyAddAndCustomizePages = Disabled). The .wsp file is successfully generated and appears in the Solution Gallery. The .wsp file does not activate. Activation fails with the error: "Activation of solutions with sandboxed code has been disabled." - Prior to this, SharePoint was only displaying a generic "Sorry, something went wrong" error. (All I did was turn content approval on and off in the Solution Gallery Library) Previously working .wsp files also fail to activate. The behaviour has been reproduced across multiple Microsoft 365 tenants. A Microsoft support ticket has already been raised. Has anyone else encountered this behaviour recently, or is aware of any changes affecting .wsp template activation in SharePoint Online? Thank you in advance for any insight or suggestions.
