SharePoint List (Not Column) Validation Settings
I have an creating a list that keeps of the amount of hours taken by an employee. I have two columns in this list - Reason & Hours If the Reason column value is 'Paid - Vacation' or 'Unpaid Vacation', then the value of Hours must be greater than 1 and less than 11. I have gone to the List > Settings > Validation settings and tried a few different formulas: =IF(AND([Reason]="Paid - Vacation",[Reason]="Unpaid - Vacation"),IF([Hours]>0,IF([Hours]<11,TRUE,FALSE),FALSE),TRUE) =IF(AND([Reason]="Paid - Vacation",[Reason]="Unpaid - Vacation"),IF([Hours]>0,IF([Hours]<11,TRUE)),TRUE) I don't get any errors when saving either formula. When I enter another record manually or using the form, the record is entered, but no validation is being made when the [Reason] = "Paid - Vacation" and [Hours] = 45 Can anyone assist with this?

Add content type file to every new document library created in a site
I created a new template via content type that I want to be available in every document library (existing and new). For existing document libraries on the site and subsites, I can manually add the template but there are 300 subsites with 4 folders each. I'm looking for a faster way to do this. Also, I want the template added to every new folder that is created on the main site or subsites. What is the solution?
SharePoint view filtered to Me
Hello! Is it possible to create a view, or JSON format a view, when a field contains my information that is not a people picker field? I have a multiple line of text field where I enter a JSON object with user emails. Is there a way to change the view to only show the line item if that text field contains my email? I have tried using that field with Contains [Me] but that does not work. Presumably as [Me] is for people picker fields. Is there a way to add a filter to the view to look for my email?
Managed MetaData and Document Libraris
Hello, we are currently going through the process of setting up managed metadata tags on our SharePoint Online systems. The requirement has been identified that any documents need to be tagged with some labels, and I would like to make it so that, when the user creates or uploads a document to the libraries in question, that there be a popup window or some other form of forced interaction for the user that will require them to set the tags that we are wanting to use. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated, cheers.NEW! SharePoint Lists & Libraries: Default Approvers for Configure Approvals Explained

Linking documents/pictures to other sites?
What is the correct way to use documents and images stored in a Home Site library on other SharePoint sites? I need to embed images and create hyperlinks to documents on pages in other sites. I have been using the “Copy link” button, which creates a sharing link with individual user permissions. The problem is that if I move the picture to another folder within the same library, the image sometimes disappears from the page. Occasionally the share link still works after moving the file, but not always. What is the recommended way to do this, and is it fully supported?Migrating large number of Nintex based SPS 2019 Workflows to SPO

Organization Asset Libraries not filtering in PowerPoint Brand Images
Hi, I have set up three Organization Asset Libraries on the same SharePoint site using the `Set-SPOOrgAssetsLibrary` PowerShell cmdlet. All three are image libraries, each intended for a different language version of our company assets. When I go to PowerPoint → Insert → Pictures → Brand Images, I can see a dropdown that allows me to switch between the libraries. However, regardless of which library I select, all images from all three libraries are displayed at the same time. My questions: 1. Is this expected behavior (by design), or is it a bug? 2. If by design — what is the actual purpose of the library switcher dropdown if it doesn't filter the content? Any insight or official documentation reference would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!Can we fill *.pdf in File Identifier on Get file metadata
Sir, I'm a rookie of Power Automate, so i'm tried to created flow to automatic fill metadata column in SharePoint Library as below.

In fact, i cannot specify file identifier was uploaded in SharePoint but this flow must run automatically. My question is how to fix on this an issue? Many thanks for advice. Sonchai M. Flow Running failDocument Library - Add "Navigation/Info Elements"
Hi All Is there any way to add web parts to a document library page? I have a requirement to put "instructions" above (or on the same page as) a document library. The only way I know to do this is to create a page and put the document library web part on it. This is not ideal. as it is not the full document library experience clicking the "see all" takes you to the document library, but this creates confusion for users in terms of navigation Another Option would be to "pin" a "how to use" document ... but this requires us to create and pin this document and is quite "ugly" I had hoped this would be part of the new library expereince https://supersimple365.com/sharepoint-document-libraries-are-getting-a-new-user-experience/Integrated - PowerApps Customized Form - not working
