Sharepoint List Column and Form setting issue.
Hello, I have two issues with one of our sharepoint list. - It seems the column names are not consistent across users. - The column field editor is not shared across users. Basically, I created a list which I then modified, including some field names. However some users still only see the original version of the field names. Columns seem correct, however they have the wrong names. Also in a similarly, I havec created conditions for fields to appear on the ITEM form and have reorganised the fields in a particular order, however when looking at the form on some users some fields are in the wrong order (I believe its usually the fields with the wrong names. I have already checked versioning is activated which it is not and permissions seem correct ( one of the users is also a list owner) The only difference I can see is that the language is not the same for everyone. But I don't see how that would impact it. The names don't use any french accents or symbols. any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Not able to use "(" - opening bracket in SharePoint Online Webpart
I have an SPO site where I am creating multiple pages. Every single page prevents me from typing an opening/left parenthesis. I can type a closing parenthesis no problem. I've cleared my cache and restarted. It began recently - probably around the same time as the update where a closing parenthesis/quotation appears when you type an opening one.
Sharepoint site permissions issues - Visitors group users not granted access
Hey there, One of our colleague was wrongly given the "owner" role for a SP site. That person went to the advanced permissions settings panel and randomly deleted the site default "Visitors" group. Then of course every persons depending on that permissions level to visite the site received a "Denied access" error when trying to reach the site. What we saw was no more "visitors" group in the advanced permissions settings panel BUT; "visitors" group still appearing in the basic consol on the website (gear icon>site permissions) and enclosing users; when checking access to specific pages or content "visitors" group was missing. We then recreated a new "Visitors" group with "read only" classic permissions. Yet same issue "Denied access" and same observations made (see bullets list above). We did it again creating a very similar group called "Read-only". After several trials. we asked permissions to access the page directly from the error page "Denied access". User was then able to access the site. From there we checked the permissions status for that user, from that check we can see that this user is depending on the "Visitors" and "Read-only" groups... Yet we can't see that user withing these groups... Of course if we deleted the user from all users and add it in one of these two groups, it can't access the site. We read a lot on permissions lately but can't find anyone else experiencing this. Additional info: This site is part of a hub and is the only one affected All sites are configured the same way The only settings that changes was that deleted default "visitors" group on that specific website. (so it has to come from that) We won't be asking people to ask for permissions from the "Denied access" error page since it would not solve the original issue and we set up groups within Active Directory to easily manage users and their permissions across MS apps. Should anyone have a solution ;)... CheersAutomatically 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 Webpart Discussion
I make a webpart using react language in that webpart I have create a form in that I have a dropdown in that I want to display all users of my community but currently only site users are displayed These are all the required code lines for populating dropdown :- const [users, setUsers] = React.useState<IDropdownOption[]>([]); const userResults = await sp.web.siteUsers(); const userOptions: IDropdownOption[] = userResults.map(user => ({ key: user.Id.toString(), text: user.Title })); <Dropdown label="Assigned To" options={users} selectedKeys={assignedToUsers} onChange={(_, option) => { if (!option) return; setAssignedToUsers(prev => option.selected ? [...prev, option.key as string] : prev.filter(k => k !== option.key) ); }} placeholder="Select Assigned to person(s)" multiSelect styles={{ dropdown: { width: "100%", marginTop: 10 } }} /> } For displaying all user I also tried the Microsoft Graph Api and changed according to that but these won't work so I now I am finding alternate option so please tell me if you have any solutionSharePoint Designer 2013 is deprecated
I am not sure that this topic has been discussed before. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/what-s-new/what-s-deprecated-or-removed-from-sharepoint-server-subscription-edition According to this page the, July 14, 2026 after that date, SharePoint Designer 2013 will no longer be supported. But it looks like we still can create a publish workflows? Does any body have suggestion for 3. Parties’ solution for that. Did checked Nintex K2 and its very expensive. We just have 10 workflows send email with content in body. And one approval workflow. Any solution i can create with SPFX or in SP to have this opportunity to create WF. I know about VS but there are not that simple.Making a FAQ using lists need help with json formatting colors
So I was following a tutorial on Youtube on how to make a FAQ list but I cant get the formatting right. There are 4 columns in this list Title, Question, Answer, Show More Basically I have it grouped by title and then grouped by question The problem is the as you can see in the screenshot below the title and question are all the same color I want them to be a different color. I have also attached the JSON I am using in formatting below. But basically I need help figuring out how to make the title in this case documentation different from the questions. { "$schema": "https://developer.microsoft.com/json-schemas/sp/v2/row-formatting.schema.json", "schema": "https://developer.microsoft.com/json-schemas/sp/v2/row-formatting.schema.json", "hideSelection": true, "hideColumnHeader": true, "hideListHeader": true, "groupProps": { "headerFormatter": { "elmType": "div", "attributes": { "class": "sp-row-card" }, "style": { "color": "#333333", "background-color": "#F7F7F7", "flex-grow": "1", "display": "flex", "flex-direction": "row", "box-sizing": "border-box", "padding": "8px 12px", "border-radius": "6px", "align-items": "center", "flex-wrap": "nowrap", "overflow": "hidden", "margin": "4px 6px 6px 4px", "min-width": "max-content", "box-shadow": "0 1px 3px rgba(0,0,0,0.1)" }, "children": [ { "elmType": "img", "style": { "max-width": "28px", "max-height": "28px", "margin-top": "0", "border-radius": "3px", "margin-right": "12px" } }, { "elmType": "div", "children": [ { "elmType": "span", "style": { "padding": "4px 6px", "font-weight": "600", "font-size": "16px", "color": "#B31B24" }, "txtContent": "@group.fieldData.displayValue" } ] }, { "elmType": "div", "style": { "flex-grow": "1" }, "children": [ { "elmType": "div", "style": { "display": "flex", "flex-direction": "column", "justify-content": "center" } } ] } ] } }, "rowFormatter": { "elmType": "div", "attributes": { "class": "sp-row-pwc-bg" }, "style": { "display": "flex", "justify-content": "flex-start", "color": "#222222", "padding": "8px 16px", "border-radius": "6px", "max-width": "920px", "margin": "6px 8px 8px 60px", "background-color": "#FFFFFF", "box-shadow": "0 1px 4px rgba(0,0,0,0.08)", "align-items": "center", "flex-direction": "column" }, "children": [ { "elmType": "div", "style": { "text-align": "left", "font-weight": "600", "font-size": "16px", "color": "#E4002B", "user-select": "none" }, "txtContent": "" }, { "elmType": "div", "style": { "margin-top": "8px", "font-weight": "400", "font-size": "14px", "color": "#5A5A5A", "white-space": "pre-wrap" }, "txtContent": "[$Answer]" }, { "elmType": "button", "customRowAction": { "action": "defaultClick" }, "txtContent": "Show more", "attributes": { "class": "sp-row-button" }, "style": { "display": "=if([$ShowMore] == 'Yes', 'inline-block', 'none')", "margin-top": "10px", "color": "#FFFFFF", "background-color": "#E4002B", "border": "none", "padding": "6px 16px", "border-radius": "4px", "cursor": "pointer", "font-weight": "600", "font-size": "14px", "text-align": "center", "box-shadow": "0 2px 6px rgba(228,0,43,0.3)" } } ] } }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.
SharePoint Video Transcript Automated File Create and Download
For every video uploaded to SharePoint, transcripts are produced. However, we need a separate file (word document) containing the transcript text for each video. We can manually download the transcript for each video from SharePoint, but our aim is to automate this process. Ideally, every time a video is uploaded to SharePoint, a transcript would be generated, and the corresponding file would be automatically downloaded and saved in the same SharePoint folder. We attempted to use Power Automate for this task, but after several months of working with MS support and the Product Groups it seems that this is not feasible, and they do not intend to address this issue. I am hoping someone in this community can help us find a way to accomplish this goal using Power Automate.Developer dashboard says “You don’t currently qualify” – please enable E5 sandbox
Hi Microsoft team, I joined the Microsoft 365 Developer Program today with a personal Microsoft account from Austria. My profile page is now accessible, but my dashboard still says: “You don’t currently qualify for a Microsoft 365 Developer Program sandbox subscription.” Could you please manually enable my Microsoft 365 E5 sandbox tenant so I can start testing? Thank you very much for your help! TinoChange in SharePoint File Selection Behaviour
Has anyone noticed this in the last week/s? Basically before, you used to be able to SELECT files without opening them. Now, 5-6 times out of ten, if I try to select a document or folder it opens instead. Like, even when i am clearly clicking the checkmark to the left of the file/folder, it will STILL OPEN in the browser, rather than just selecting. It's like the file open behaviour has gotten more sensitive or something? It's really frustrating because my users need to add metadata to documents by selecting them, and now they have to fight with SharePoint nearly every time.SharePoint Template Copying
Hello Community! I am working to copy over a Site Page Template upon a list form request! Users will fill out the name of the item they're looking to create a Notice template for, and then power automate copy's the template and updates the metadata. When I update the metadata, it still shows with the name of the template page I originally copied. The following shows this happening with a template page created by copying 'CarrierNoticeTemplate' The first image shows the template titled "Test Notice", when being selected within the Page Gallery. Second image shows the template titled "Test Notice", within Site Pages. Any help would be very much appreciated.Indexing Ideas Needed - Parts I.D. Order in Libraries : Ex.) Parts R1 thru R10, R2...
GOAL: To resolve the subject line issue that is intensive and eliminates the following workaround. WORKAROUND A sequential number in a separate index number is formatted as a "Number". Many times I must export the library and add the number in MS Excel and paste these back into the library's index number column. IDEAS ON RESOLUTION Your thoughts on how to properly index the part I.D.s without a separate index number column are welcome including: Alternative formatting to apply to the alphanumeric Part I.D. description in the Part I.D. column to promote correct indexing Any programmed solutions Best regards, Clint Hill
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!
To hide the file preview section in a SharePoint Document library gallery card with JSON
Hello All, I have a SharePoint document library and I created a gallery view for it. I displayed several columns/metadata on the gallery view. I want to disable/hide the file preview section in this card. I believe this can easily be done by changing some code in JSON at the Format view Advanced. However, I don't know how to do it. I hope there is someone, in this form, could be able to help me. Thanks in advanced.PNP Search Results sort by title

CSOM: My “one query to rule them all” plan backfired — got “Request uses too many resources” 😅
Hey folks, So I’ve been playing around with CSOM (Client-Side Object Model), feeling fancy about making one super-efficient query that loads everything I need at once. Something like this: clientContext.Load( clientContext.Web, w => w.SiteUsers.Include(...), w => w.Lists.Include(...), w => w.SiteGroups.Include(...) ); Basically, my thought was: “Why make multiple calls when I can just get everything in one go?” But CSOM had other plans. Instead of being impressed, it hit me with the dreaded: "Request uses too many resources." Even when I tried to be nice and limit the properties, it still said “Nope.” 🙃 So now I’m wondering: Is it actually more efficient (and safer) to create a new ClientContext for each object I want to query (like Web, SiteUsers, Lists, etc.)? Or am I just thinking about this the wrong way and missing some batching trick? Would love to hear how others handle this — or if there’s a secret sauce to making CSOM not freak out when you ask for too much.
