Document libraries - Force users to upload content via the new Forms method only
Hi, Recently a new form input system that uses Forms has been deployed for Sharepoint document libraries. This works well, however I was expecting to also have the possibility to disable the standard "upload" button and completely substitute it with the new Form function. This is because I have created a flow that expects some metadata along with the file, to be filled by the user at the time of insertion of the element, and this is not possible to do with the old upload method as a one-shot action. I can circumvent the problem by adding additional checks in my flow, however I think this is suboptimal, as this means it needs to run twice in the best case scenario (first for the upload, then for the metadata update). Is it something I can expect to be implement at some time in the near future?SolvedDarioCLJan 12, 2026Copper Contributor74Views0likes3Comments
Conditional formatting in lists using JSON condition is between numbers
I'm trying to use JSON to conditional format a color based on the number in the cell. This code works if the number is one in the cell. I would like to apply the same color if the number is 2 or less and also apply a different color if the number is between 3 and 5. I've tried replacing the "1" above with "=IF (<=2)" and "=IF(@currentField <=2)" with no luck. ThanksSolveddmann1Jan 06, 2026Copper Contributor92Views0likes3Comments
Can a Library hierarchy be limited to just 2 or 3 layers?
With SharePoint, our users aren't happy yet with a metadata architecture and demand their folders. Management doesn't want 10+ layers of folders. Users aren't convinced using Views with 2 groups. Is it then possible to have a limit on the number of layers in a folder hierarchy, to have a hybrid approach with only 2 layers or less? The end-result might allow the users to configure their folders: Documents library Folder 1 Folder 1.1 File 1.1.1.txt Folder 1.2 File 1.2.1.txt Folder 1.3 File 1.3.1.txt But the user wouldn't be permitted to create subfolders below that. I am not sure if it's possible to have a Layer 1 Document Set, and a Layer 2 document set, but with no further layers possible by the user.SolvedMaximusDecimusMeridiusJan 06, 2026Copper Contributor77Views1like1Comment
Restrict a SP library for uploaders
Want to create a SP library where people will be uploading documents from different departments. Is there a way that i can lockdown a view where anybody coming in can only see their own uploads? Maybe use the last modified column or create a person column? I know I can do this with folders and mail groups, but trying to get away from that and also making it easier for my auditors to go through the documents easier without going through folder-ception. Maybe I can work on restricting the public view? The owner and small group does need the ability to see them all. tySolvednerdyplayerDec 16, 2025Copper Contributor103Views0likes4CommentsGroup Calendar web part number of events limitation
The Group Calendar web part in my SP will only display a few meetings. I have increased the 'Number of events per page' setting. I don't see any setting limiting the size of the web part. Is there a setting to limit meetings by date?Solvedux0042Dec 16, 2025Brass Contributor53Views0likes2CommentsHow is the SharePoint Online file path length counted?
I'm struggling to figure out how to calculate the path length of a file in SharePoint. I understand that the maximum is 400 characters. However, I'm not sure what goes toward that number, or whether characters are encoded or decoded.Solved311Views0likes4Comments
SharePoint Search by Date
We have several business-critical Date columns that users need to filter by in search. Created and Modified provided by KQL are not enough. We’re limited to a tiny pool of RefinableDate properties, and there’s no UI to create new Date managed properties. This forces us into app-side filtering instead of leveraging the search index. Is there any workaround for this? Does Microsoft have any plans to modernize managed property creation for dates? It's completely unacceptable to have only 12 Refinable Dates for the entire tenant!SolvedKathryn BirsteinNov 23, 2025Copper Contributor73Views0likes1CommentIssue with Moving Data Between SharePoint Sites Using Synced Document Libraries
Hi everyone, I work at an MSP IT company, and over the past 14 days, I’ve encountered the same issue with two different users from separate customers. Both users have synchronized document libraries on their local machines. Here’s what happens: When they cut a large set of files from one SharePoint site to another, the data doesn’t seem to move correctly. On the user’s computer, everything looks fine, but when I check online, the files are still in the original location. If I then cut the data from the new location to a temporary folder (e.g., C:\#temp), the files disappear from the old location both locally and online. After that, if I move the data back into the new location, it synchronizes perfectly. Has anyone experienced this behavior before or can explain if the users are doing something wrong? Any insights would be greatly appreciated! :) Best regards, Michael BoyeSolvedMichaelBoyeNov 20, 2025Copper Contributor124Views1like2CommentsNot able view option of "Site Page" for selection on New button click for Site Pages library

Classic SharePoint list view redirecting to home page
Hello! I have an old Classic SharePoint site that I need to create a new view in a list for. I have created this view but whenever I go to open that view it redirects me to the homepage. This site was build by someone else and I believe this is by design to stop users from using admin only views....but how do I stop this for my new view? I need some users to be able to use it. When I create a personal view it does not do this redirect. Any ideas how I can stop it happening on a public view? Or will I need each of my users who need a new view to set up personal views of their own?Solved114Views0likes1Comment
