Adding a clickable button to A sharepoint list to update a Yes/No Field
I am currently creating a list which users are assigned policies to read. I am struggling to find any way to make the list friendly for the users to mark as reading a policy. When a policy is assigned to them, a list item is created with a Yes/No column set to No. I am looking for a way which they can click a button, and the button will change the value of that specific column in that specific row to Yes. I've seen some mentions to JSON actions, but I have never used JSON, so I am in the dark of any possible way to resolve this issue. Ideally I don't want to use a flow, but if a button can click a flow and dynamically pull the Row and Column information, I am open to building that. Any help will be appreciated.
Prevent Automatically Opening the File Explorer on the Upload Tab (filepicker)
I am working on an application customizer that will inject custom UI into the File Picker's Upload tab. Because of this, I want to prevent the file explorer from automatically opening when the user clicks on the Upload tab. I’ve tried several methods to achieve this by manipulating the DOM through my custom code in the application customizer. I even tried removing the "file" input element from my custom code. However, the file explorer still opens automatically when the user clicks on the Upload tab. Is there any way to prevent this?
Site settings menu different between sites
Hi all, new here hoping to get some help! I've searched the forum but it's really hard to articulate my query. The issue is with the "settings cog menu" specifically the site permissions section. My question is, where do I set that menu / what appears there. We use a template of a sharepoint site that we deploy when we need a new site adding - all sites should be the same, but with different permissions. On some sites under the settings cog > site permissions I see this: ------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------- And on other sites, I see this: ---------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------- I've checked this against multiple different sites that have been up for a while and it's consistently different through out.
New Co-Authoring Feature REMOVES Discard Changes
This post is more of an information for SharePoint users since Microsoft haven't announced the removal of Discard changes for pages / news posts as part of their co-authoring feature. This is a major regression and will cause a lot of pain to most of Microsoft's customers. Microsoft have said that they are replacing Discard changes (as it's no longer required anymore - REALLY) with Undo and version history. The Undo button doesn't discard changes to a page. You can undo your changes, but the page will still be saved as a new version regardless. I've testing in my test tenant where the new co-authoring feature has been rolled out and I can NOT discard changes anymore. Scenario (and an extremely common one) We have flows (reviews, approvals, etc.) that run when a Page (Standard Page or News Article) is published. Now, if I go into a published page to check on some of the page layout and make some temporary changes (VERY frequent that this happens across all of our authors), it will save a version with my changes, and I am now forced to restore the previous version to remove my changes, which will inadvertently move the page back into Draft mode and need to be republished.Republishing it again will kick off another flow, and the page will now be published by the user that temporarily updated the page, and on the current date/time. We absolutely need our pages and news articles tokeep the actual date they were publishedand displaywho originally published them(these are displayed on the page) and not kick off additional review/approval flows. It will also affect our version history which we rely on for auditing purposes. Before, I could go in and help someone with their page and discard my changes, or our authors could just play around with the design of the page and not have any intention of keeping their changes. Now, those users will end up in the version history when they didn't actually have any intent on keeping their temporarily changes. Love to get your thoughts on this regression. Especially since Microsoft seem to think it's not important, and have not posted any communications (general, M365 service announcements, etc.) about the removal of Discard changes.
SharePoint List Overwriting Items on 'New'
I have a SharePoint list that seems to be overwriting items when users click 'New' instead of making a new item. It only happens to certain items though, not to all of them--most new items are created correctly but some specific item IDs are getting overwritten repeatedly. No idea how or why... Anybody seen this issue before? I'm using this list as a Error Ticketing System, so users create items for themselves or their employees to report the app they're having trouble with--the list collects some basic demographics (lastname/ID/email) and info on the error, almost all single line of text fields, some choice fields. Thanks in advance!

File Size limits regarding antivirus analysis in SharePoint Online, OneDrive
Hi Everyone, Below article doesn't mention any limit about uploaded files. Does anyone one if there is a file size limit for files that are uploaded? Are all the files scanned?

I have a form in Word format, which uses Document Properties as fields. These forms are located in a Sharepoint library. Some of these document properties are Sharepoint metadata from the Sharepoint columns associated with the document. None of these document property fields are mandatory/ required. When I open the template, the fields are blank and I can save the document. Even after editing some of the fields (some fields are texts, some are dates etc.), I can still save the document. However, if I try to go back to remove the entry to one of the previously filled in Sharepoint metadata document property fields in the Word document, so that it will now be blank, it gives me these errors: "To save to the server, correct the invalid or missing required properties" and "The length of this text must be at least 1 characters". There is also a red dotted border around the field. If I check under Info - Show All Properties, none of the properties are marked with an * to show that they are required. However, the fields that I have now made blank have a red box around the "Add text". It will not let me save until I add text to it. I tried with a few test documents, in different Sharepoint locations. I am seeing the same issue at each location. I tried creating blank documents and added a Sharepoint metadata field as well as a default word document property field (e.g. Author). The same issue each time - If I add data to the Sharepoint metadata field, I can save. Then when I try erase it, it will give me the previously mentioned error and will not allow me to save onto Sharepoint until I enter data into the field. For the Author field, I could add data, save, remove the data in the field, and save again with no issues. Another scenario tested as well with the same results - Sharepoint Metadata fields "TestA", "TestB", "TestC" added into the Word document. Add data for "TestA" and "TestB", and do not touch "TestC" (leave it blank). There are no issues saving. If I go back and try remove the data in "TestA" for example, it will give the error and will not save. Thank you in advance.Change of notification language
Hi everybody, our tenant was created in Germany. Recently, we migrated another tenant from the US in our tenant. Unfortunately, all American users now receive notifications from Sharepoint Online in German. I have checked the SP page in question and found out that its default language is German. According to my research notifications are always sent in the default language and that it's not possible to change the default language. Is there any chance or possibility to change the language of the notifications for this site? If there is only an option to change them globally to English, this would also be fine. Thanks for your help.
