Multiple Site Pages libraries to have different permissions when creating modern site pages
We want to build a wiki-like site for our company where the info will be added inside modern pages, and we need each department to manage its own modern pages. To do so i added different document libraries then i added custom content types which inherit from the built-in Site Pages content type. but this did not work, for example inside the HR Document library, i want to create a new modern page >>but when i click on "HR Site Page" content type which has the "Site Pages" content type as its parent:- I will be redistricted to a blank page, as follow:- so not sure how we can have multiple site pages libraries to store modern pages? since we want each library to have different permission settings (mainly different set of permissions for each department)?

Hi Folks, In doing a search, the resulting URL (which contains the search string) is long. So long that is can't be saved a link in SharePoint so that it can be used again. Does SharePoint have a URL shortener? If yes, please share both the app and your experience in using? Or, can anyone suggest another means of saving a search string? Thanks.SolvedVanessa MartinFeb 08, 2025Copper Contributor75KViews2likes9CommentsEach user appears to have their own List Views
In the same list that All users have access to View, and some users have access to Edit, every user has their own available List Views. Even though the Sharepoint Site WebPart was setup to show a specific View, only the user account that created the Views is seeing the selected View, while all other users only seeing the All Items view. Here are the List Views that we built and should be available to all: Here's what all other users are seeing: No additional restrictions have been placed on the List or the Site. This happens within the List directly and via the webpart showing the list on the site. All searches through help forums have come up empty handed in finding why users area getting a different experience when access the same List. Any advice on how to get All Users to be able to see the same Views would be appreciated.alphabravoFeb 08, 2025Occasional Reader17Views0likes2CommentsSharepoint folder permanent link
Hello community, I have recently turned on documents id in SharePoint so I can share files and keep links alive event if the file is moved or renamed. But what about folders? I can't see any fixed ID I can use to link a folder. Is there a way how to keep folders links alive and permanent? Like we can do with document ids?JAQKARFeb 08, 2025Copper Contributor10Views0likes1CommentModern list item details view and edit form do not show fields for some users
Strange behaviour on a SharePoint list in SharePoint Online on a modern team site. Most users are able to properly use the list. For a very limited set of users the item details view for a list item stopped working. There were no recent changes in list formatting JSON or permission (in fact it has not been customized at all). I checked the permissions for an affected user. He has "Edit" on the list item an "Read" on the list. The user can view or edit all fields just fine when using classic experience on the list. For me the form looks like this and for the user like this. Only the sensitivity label an content type are shown. The same behaviour occured when opening the item in the single item display form (right click on item, "Copy link" -> use this link as url e.g. https://company.sharepoint.com/sites/MySite/Lists/MyList/DispForm.aspx?ID=123 ) Interestingly when clicking on "Edit All" in this DispForm.aspx for the user the parameter loadFormWithNucleus=1 was added to the URL. When manually changing this to loadFormWithNucleus=0 all fields were shown Testing this with my not affected user the loadFormWithNucleus=1 is also added but it does not prevent the fields from loading. What might be the cause of this? Can I change anything so that the users is again able to see and edit all fields in modern view?

I am attempting to set a column in a Project Tracker List to allow three choices, Red, Amber and Green. Depending on which status the user selects, I am trying to display an image, either a red circle (image1.jpg), an amber circle (image2.jpg) or a green circle (image3.jpg). I am not certain how to have a Choice column return an image. Thanks, JohnSolvedjohncrouse62Feb 07, 2025Copper Contributor695Views0likes2CommentsSharePoint List Form (Native) Formatting
Without using Power Apps, is there a way to use JSON so that a Multi-line field can be displayed the full width of the page instead of a small column. Also, for longer content can the "show more" be defaulted to expanded. I was trying to use sections which is working but when the [UpdateContent] is in one section it is displayed 2-3 inches wide, but we want to use the full width of the page, so it is easier for staff to read. I did try using the header/footer for this one filed but it also displays HTLM tags from the multi-line fields. Tried both Enhanced and Rich Text options. Also is there a way to remove/hide the [Content Type] from the Edit form or all forms? This is what I started with for the Body: { "sections": [ { "displayname": "Client", "fields": [ "Title", "Category", "Expires", "Delivery Method", "wf_TechUpdateAlerts", "MultiLine001", "TextLong001", "Target Audience" ] }, { "displayname": "Details", "fields": [ "Update Content" ] } ] }SA-KRPFeb 07, 2025Copper Contributor5Views0likes0CommentsEditing or updating URL of link file saved in Sharepoint document library
I have a modern Sharepoint document library in which I have created a lot of links to pages on external websites. I have been trying to find a way to edit/update the URL of those links without losing the metadata. There does not appear to be any way of doing this directly in Sharepoint, short of deleting the link (and all its metadata) and creating a new link I have found and tried a couple of suggested solutions online: Sync or download the link file to a local folder, edit the URL for the shortcut file in Windows, and then resync/upload to Sharepoint overwriting the original file Use PowerAutomate (Update File operation) to change the URL by updating the link file contents I have used both methods, and in both cases appear to successfully update the file content of the shortcut/link file, but the updated file doesn't work in Sharepoint. If I download the updated link file and open it on my desktop, the shortcut works perfectly, directing me to the updated URL. However, opening the updated link directly in Sharepoint takes me to the original URL. It doesn't make sense to me that the same file behaves differently depending on whether it is opened in Sharepoint or on the desktop. Can anybody explain what is going on, and how I go about fixing this?WayneKarkFeb 07, 2025Copper Contributor14KViews2likes8CommentsDate and Time Column changing on it's own
Has anyone seen your Date and Time column change by one day without any explanation? I have a SharePoint list with a date and time column, its not calculated or has any default value assigned and it does not have any power automate flows set up to have it change but I've noticed it seems to randomly change the date by one day. The change does not show up in the version history either, even though i have versioning turn on and it does capture other changes made to the list. any insights would be very helpful as this is really strange and confusing.SolvedBrandiLaRueFeb 07, 2025Copper Contributor2.7KViews0likes6CommentsSharePoint folder "modified" date not accurate
Hi, the date in the system column "modified" for folders is not accurate. Although new files are created within the folder or modified, the folders modified date does not change. Which events trigger the modified date of a folder? Thx for your help. 🙂 Best regardsFabvEFeb 07, 2025Brass Contributor8.9KViews2likes11Comments
