Struggling to fix 2013 workflows
I build a new farm. I installed 2013 worfklows. I cannot get them to run. I can't find a fix. I'm exhausted from trying with SharePoint. :( I need a consitent way to make sharepoint work. It's terrible. Anyone have a current checklist of things to do to reverse engineer all the problems? I can only go so far as follow the flipping instructions. Ugg.
Custom Formatter for Read-Only Fields conditional based on other columns
Hello! Does anyone know if it's possible with the fieldsettings, readonly formatting, to make it conditional based on a Person field? It's a multi people field if that makes a difference? I ideally want to make certain fields read only based on who is viewing it (without having to use a Power App customised form!). This is what I want (but I know the syntax is likely all wrong!) but not sure if it's possible to use an IF statement with boolean statements? { "sections": [ {} ], "fieldsettings": [ { "name": "Comments", "readonly": "=if([$People.email] == me, false, true)" } ] }
SharePoint Online / PnP Modern Search - Mudança no ranking dos resultados
Olá pessoal, Estou enfrentando um comportamento estranho em um ambiente SharePoint Online utilizando PnP Modern Search. Recentemente realizamos: Reindexação de uma biblioteca de documentos; Criação de novos mapeamentos no Search Schema para propriedades gerenciadas (RefinableString); Ajustes em refinadores da Busca Avançada. Após essas alterações, os documentos continuam sendo encontrados pela busca, porém percebemos uma mudança significativa no ranqueamento (relevância) dos resultados. Exemplo Existe um documento chamado: Manual - Chave de Segurança.pdf Ao pesquisar: Manual - Chave de Segurança, a busca retorna dezenas de resultados, porém esse documento não aparece entre os primeiros colocados. Entretanto, ao pesquisar com aspas: "Manual - Chave de Segurança", o documento é retornado imediatamente nas primeiras posições. O mesmo comportamento foi observado com outros documentos. O que já validamos O documento está ativo e vigente; O documento está indexado; O PnP Search Results utiliza a fonte LocalSharePointResults; Não existe ordenação customizada configurada; A busca retorna o documento corretamente quando utilizamos o termo exato entre aspas; O problema parece estar relacionado apenas ao ranking/relevância dos resultados. Dúvidas Uma reindexação de biblioteca pode alterar temporariamente o ranking dos resultados do SharePoint Search? Existe algum período de estabilização da relevância após uma reindexação? É recomendado utilizar XRANK para aumentar o peso dos campos Title ou Filename em cenários como esse? Existe alguma forma de priorizar documentos cujo nome do arquivo possua correspondência exata com o termo pesquisado sem perder os benefícios da relevância padrão do SharePoint? Alguém já passou por comportamento semelhante após reindexação ou alterações no Search Schema? Obrigado!
is a payment method now mandatory for all newly provisioned E5 Instant Sandboxes?
I have an active Visual Studio Professional subscription and can successfully link it to the Microsoft 365 Developer Program. During E5 Instant Sandbox provisioning, the setup requires creation of a Billing Account and entry of a credit card/payment method. The documentation states the E5 Developer subscription is free and billing is used for verification. Is there an alternative verification process for Visual Studio subscribers that does not require a credit card, or is a payment method now mandatory for all newly provisioned E5 Instant Sandboxes?
Microsoft 365 E5 configuration grayed out - TrackingID#2607060030007237
Hello Team, We are currently facing an issue while setting up the Microsoft 365 E5 Sandbox through Microsoft 365 Developer Program. Users are only seeing the option to create an Instant Sandbox, which appears to require billing details. However, the Configurable Sandbox option, which does not involve any cost, is currently grayed out and cannot be selected. We tested this with multiple users within our organization, and the same behavior was observed for both users. This issue was not encountered earlier, as users were previously able to view and select both options — Instant Sandbox and Configurable Sandbox — by default. All impacted users are signing in with organizational email accounts associated with valid Visual Studio Dev Essentials, Professional, or Enterprise subscriptions. We also raised a MS Support case regarding this issue. However, we were informed that this falls outside the scope of a break/fix support case and were advised to post the issue in Microsoft 365 Developer Community forum. This is surprising, as the issue appears to be impacting multiple organizational users and may potentially affect many more members. Requesting your support to review this issue on priority and advise on why the Configurable Sandbox option is disabled, along with the recommended resolution or next steps. Previous Microsoft Support Case related to M365 Developer program different issue: 2601080030003703 Thank you.
SharePoint Permissions Management
Over the last 3 years of managing permissions across a suite of sites, I have uncovered more new issues with the way SharePoint permissioning is designed at every turn. A few examples, before the question: If I "Share" a file or folder somewhere on the site (breaking permissions inheritance), it is very inconvenient to find it again. If I "copy link" in this one particular way, permissions inheritance is broken. When looking at site-level permissions, I see site-level permissions groups, but there could be hundreds of other users who have been added to my site(s) without my knowing. If I want to reset permissions in an area (set of folders or library), I have to do it file-by-file or folder-by folder. If I want to get an excel snapshot of - anything really - IT has to pull it and it takes a couple days. Not to mention the permissions interface is incredibly clunky. All-in-all, there seem to be a million ways to break permissions inheritance, creating an access tracking and security nightmare. AND there's no easy way to truly see and understand who has access to what or what is broken, without spending hours with IT to pull a bunch of narrow-visibility reports. So my question is: what is the best way to navigate full permissions visibility? Am I doing something wrong? Is anyone else experiencing these issues? We have resorted to having a very strict "no outsides besides a few exceptions" policy and only managing permissions at the site-level, which really hampers on the collaboration benefits that SharePoint is trying to enable. It is also very administratively intensive. One of the benefits to SharePoint is that users don't really need to understand how it works to use it, but that's becoming less and less true with the increasing lack of security we feel in the platform.
Android Webview not rendering the headers of SharePoint page
Workspace one Web Browser which is a secure enterprise browser app is built on Android System WebView, we have an Android WebView in which I am trying to load a SharePoint page. However, certain elements of the page are not being rendered or displayed correctly in the WebView. The same SharePoint page renders correctly in a Chrome browser, where all the expected elements are visible. Please refer to the attached image for comparison and reference. In Chrome In Android System Webview based Web Browser (for example Workspace ONE Web) We mainly wanted to know why is this behaviour specific to Android System WebView based browser.Personalize WebPage - Access Denied CU 16.0.19725.20522 KB 5002893

Since 11 August we have been seeing incomplete responses from the mailbox item delta operation in Microsoft Graph. The request returns a 200 but the body is cut short and cannot be parsed. A folder with no items responds normally, but as soon as one item is present the response breaks. It behaves the same way in Postman as in our own client. Has anyone else run into this recently? Happy to share more detail.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.
Sharepoint Site News Links not populating like before
Hello, everyone! Has anyone else had an issues within SharePoint and posting news links? Previously, on our SharePoint site we would add news links from sources and the article title, image, and description would autopopulate and then allow users to go click the link to that article. However, since November, SharePoint does not do this anymore and is not pulling in the information. Any assistance would be appreciated.
SharePoint security broken between Microsoft 365 group and SharePoint group
Hi, Users are giving Member privilege through Teams, which gave them Member privilege in the Member SharePoint group. All good for 99% of the company. PROBLEM : I have 4 users without access to the SharePoint by this method. Security is not broken between Microsoft 365 Group and SharePoint group and is working fine for everybody else. Strangely, I saw that these 4 users are members of more than 1500+ Microsoft 365 Group, since they have been in the business for a long time and touch many projects here). I heard the limit is 7000 but they still have problem. Using the "Check permission", I got "None" for these people, but "Edit - Given through the XYZ Member group" for every other people in the Microsoft 365 Group. Any advice ? Thanks ! PatriccoteMS List Column Width Forced
Hi, I've had a number of MS lists and been able to enter grid view and amend the width of columns and the text doesn't overflow which I want to keep the overall list width smaller; but as of yesterday all my columns are forced to be as wide as the text, meaning the that 1 column can be multiple screens wide for multi-line columns and they can't be resized smaller Is this a bug? Any help appreciated.Is it possible to disconnect a site from an O365 group?
I'm interested in keeping a site collection that is connected to an Office 365 group, but I want to delete the group and "disconnect" it from the site (basically the opposite of what is possible when you "groupify" a team site). Does anyone know if this is a PowerShell command?Guest user | recent change in the authentication method
Hi, due to the recent change MC1243549 - retirement of OTP for guest users in SharePoint/OneDrive, we are having a big impact with external collaboration. The external users who do not have company-managed devices and are reluctant to install work-related software or authentication applications on their personal devices are unable to meet the new access requirements, this is significantly impacting business activities. Any suggestion on this topic will be helpful. Do any of you have a similar issue? Thanks!Become a Microsoft advanced content management advocate! [Opportunity]
