Concatenate columns in Sharepoint list with JSON?
I want to concatenate First and Last name columns in Sharepoint. I can easily do this in Excel and Access, but this function is not available in Sharepoint. Yes, I know about the Calculation Column, but it looks like more vaporware - more half-baked nonsense from Microsoft. It does not work. Is there a way to use JSON to achieve this?
Sharepoint List - New Item displays data from previous form submission
Hi All. I have set up a Sharepoint List. I used a customised form using power apps. I have a slight issues that is annoying me. Here is sequence of events: Edit and submit an existing list item using the power apps form. After submitting updates, the list reloads - i would like to create a new list item, so i select "+ Add New Item" button When the form loads, the fields are pre-populated with input from the previous list item Currently, i have to abandon the new item, refresh the brower and try again (this now loads as expected with clear fields). Question: Is there any functionality that will "refresh" the page following a edit to an existing list item rather than a manual refresh. I can see users within the organisation getting frustrated with it if they are not aware they have to manually refresh before adding a new item to the list. Many thanks CallumContainer tree - PnP Modern Search
Hello everyone, I am trying to create a page on one of my SP sites dedicated to search. Specifically, I want to use tags/labels as filters. So far, I have managed to do this using the PnP Modern Search filter tool on one level (I create a column, map the crawled properties with a RefinableString, and configure the filter). Now I would like to do the same thing, but this time on multiple levels with a tree structure. I've created a TermSet and in the filter configuration, I saw this “Container tree” option, but nothing works, and I can't find any help or documentation on the subject. Does anyone have any information? Or a way to use this option and have tree view on the filter? Thank you in advance, any help will be greatly appreciated. Kind regards
SharePoint online document library - document properties not getting update values in word document
Hi All, We have created an application in SharePoint online. This application creates Word documents in which SharePoint list fields are merged. When creating a new item in SharePoint, the Word document shows the correct date values: 1. Create new item in SharePoint. Dates are 1/9/2025 and 2/9/2025 2. Opening the related word document shows This is correct behavior 3. Change any field through 'Edit properties'. Still the dates are 1 and 2/9/2025 4. If I open the Word document now I see that the dates have a value of 1 day less then the provided date. The category is updated correct. 5. When downloading the document the correct values are shown 6. Also when opening the document through View in browser > Edit document > Open in desktop, I see the correct values Question is: 1. Why don't we see the correct values when the Word document is directly opened in the browser? 2. Is there a possibility to open the Word document always in the Client (desktop) itself instead of directly on the browser? We already tried changing the below Advanced library settings (changed it in Open in Browser/use the server default), but this didn't gave the correct solution.
Accessing Teams Private Channels Files in SharePoint
Is there an issue currently with accessing Teams Private Channel files in SharePoint? I have looked but cannot find anything. Recently our users that used to access Teams Private channel files within SharePoint (by going to the sharepoint site and Documents and then In Channels) have noticed that when they click a folder it doesn't take them into a file list, it just does nothing. If they then press F5 to refresh it will usually take them into the list of files. Accessing the files with Teams is fine still, only an issue if you use SharePoint. I've tried this on a few other sites within our Tennant and it happens on our other sites too.
Setting up a wiki same as Confluence
Good afternoon, I'm trying to re-create all of our tech documents in sharepoint so we can centralise to office 365. I've tried many different way but I think the only way maybe a news style site, but then I have the issue of navigation so have looked into metadata navigation. But none of this seem to do something confluence makes so easy. What would you recommend? Many Thanks Mark
Prevent list form
I have a list with 10 columns. I created a custom view to share this same list with some partners, but they only can see 6 columns. The problem is, I what that guests can only view the list, I dont want then to open the form. The list is already guest only, so, they cant edit the form. The problem is, even they cant edit the form, they can see the data of the other 4 columns on the form. Is there a way to prevent a guest to open the form of a list on the sharepoint? Thank you
Maximum value for SharePoint List unique ID
Hi everyone, I have a SharePoint List that gets updated daily. I have 25000-30000 items that get completely deleted every night and then created again with new values and content. So every new item gets a new list ID. I'm a little bit worried because, even though SharePoint lists can store up to 30 Million items, what happens when the unique ID assigned to each item gets "overflowed"? For example, right now the last item's ID is 480368, and as I said before I create 30000 new items every single day , so doing a simple math it would take 1000 days to reach an ID number of 30000000 (if that's possible, I don't even know). What happens when the ID reaches a limit? Would it break the list? Will I be able to keep creating new items? Just to make it completely clear: the list will never reach the 30 million limit. It will always stay on 25000-30000 items. But I'm scared that the ID will break this process in less than 3 years. Thanks for your help!Migrating file shares over 100GB to SharePoint Online
We currently have several file shares on an on-premises Windows server, with some shares exceeding 100GB. We intend to migrate these files to SharePoint Online. However, I have been informed that it is not possible to migrate over 100GB to a single SharePoint site. Could someone confirm if this limitation is accurate? Additionally, if this is indeed the case, are there alternative methods for migrating these shares without having to split them? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.Difficulty loading Teams Channels folders in SharePoint
During the last week, I've had users struggle to access Teams channel folders from SharePoint for web. They can navigate into the Document library, but when they click on the Teams channel folder, it hangs and fails to load. Currently, they are using a workaround to access the Teams channel directly and click 'open in SharePoint.' I've also had issues with the files tab in the same Teams channels loading. I get an error message that the page could not be loaded.Stock images -- insert or change not working
We are a GCC cloud client. Starting Tuesday, we are no longer able to add images or change images while accessing from the Stock Images option. When we click stock images, the app sits and spins and then throws an error "Your search didn't match any content. Please try another term". Does matter what the term is, it doesn't resolve. Prior to this, when clicking stock images, the window would open with images where we could then filter, etc. Now nothing will show not matter what. I am a SharePoint admin, we have also tried with Site owners and on different browsers with cache cleared. We did submit a ticket with MS, but response has been slow. Anyone else experiencing this?VAPT issue raised for CKEditor 4.13.0 Cross-Site Scripting

We are facing 2 issues, but i suspect its related. OS is server 2025. Patches are current. We applied the sharepoint upgrade: KB5002784 yesterday. At that time we discovered psconfig failed to complete. Initially it was due to a problem with the sharepoint admin service. Of note it would not start. I found this to be a problem with windows exploit protection. Exempting the exe associated with the admin service fixed this and the service now starts. PSconfig still fails, its failing at the spcopysidebyside step. of note the sidebyside log that the error references is never created. additionally running the spcopysidebyside powershell script, and specifiying a log file location also results in no log being created. i suspect this may be another windows exploit protection exemption that needs to be created. at this time im not sure what one is required, nor how this is not effecting all installs vs just ours.

SharePoint List calculated column formula using a Lookup column reference
Given: A SharePoint List (SPL) called Contractors with the following columns: ContractorID // Display name of the default ID column ContractorName Another SPL called Reports with the following columns: ReportID // Display name of the default ID column ReportNumber // Calculated column Contractor_ID // Lookup column referring to the ContractorID column of the Contractors SPL The calculated column, ReportNumber, would have a formula similar to: = [ReportID] & "-" & Contractor_ID Question: Does SharePoint Lists support the use of a Lookup column in the formula of a calculated column? If so, I need help on the proper syntax for the formula. (The formula above is not working) Thanks in AdvanceSP 2019 On-Premise | Apply template to document library | Issue
Hello, I'm using SharePoint 2019 Server On-Premise. Task 1: Create a template of an existing document library. Task 2: Apply the newly created template to a new document library. Task 1 was successful but I'm failing to succeed with Task 2. I simply do not find the option to use an existing template. For clarification, I do not want to use a document template but a template for the document library, so the columns are copied to the new document library including the column formatting. I would appreciate pointers. Thank you and all the best, VarDumped
Cannot Apply Sensitivity Label to PDF File No Encryption Present
Hi all, I am facing an issue when trying to apply a sensitivity label to a PDF file stored in SharePoint. The error message I get is: Error: Sensitivity label cannot be applied at this time due to the nature of file's encryption. However, I can open the PDF file normally, and it does not seem to be password-protected in any way. Has anyone encountered this before? Is there a way to apply a sensitivity label to such files? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.
