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 Callum
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.
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.
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.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 youCannot 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.TopicHeader (Text Above Title) Not Updating in SharePoint Online
Previously, I was updating the "OData_TopicHeader" property in Power Automate, and it correctly displayed as the Topic Header (text above the title) on the page. However, although the property is still being updated successfully, it no longer appears on the page as expected. Has anyone else experienced this issue, or is there an updated approach required to ensure the Topic Header displays correctly? Any insights would be appreciated.TopicHeader (Text Above Title) Not Updating in SharePoint Online

I need to export my SharePoint calendar exactly as it appears in the Calendar view, including all events for each day, without collapsing into "+X more." Currently, SharePoint does not provide a built-in feature to export the calendar in its visual month/week layout. I am looking for a solution or workaround that allows me to: Export all events while preserving the calendar layout (month/week view). Ensure no events are hidden or collapsed. Use methods such as connecting the calendar to Outlook for export/print, Power Automate to generate a report, or other feasible options. My goal is to have a complete calendar view outside of SharePoint for reporting or sharing purposes.SharePoint Calendar View Events Collapsing into “+X More” Instead of Displaying All
In the SharePoint calendar (Month view), when a specific date has more than two events, the system only displays the first two events in the day cell and collapses the remaining items into a "+X more" link. This limits visibility, as users must click to view additional events instead of seeing them directly in the calendar grid. We need a solution or customization to allow all events for a single day to be displayed within the calendar view without collapsing into +X more.
Quick Links “Button” layout drawers stuck open on modern SharePoint page
We’re using the Quick Links web part in Button layout on a modern SharePoint Online page. Normally, the label “drawer” only appears when you hover over the button. Recently, the drawers under all buttons are stuck permanently open (see red lines below marking the title drawers that I want to disappear). We must use the Button layout for our design standards, so switching to another layout is not an option Our IT team says there’s no HTML/CSS toggle to control this, and publishing an older page version would undo recent changes without guaranteeing a fix Rebuilding the web part isn’t realistic since we don’t have all the original links and images. This has happened before, but usually it “clears up” after some time — this time it’s persistent. Has anyone else run into this? Is this a known regression with Button layout, and is there a fix? Any guidance would be appreciated.
SharePoint page to display Computer Information
Is it possible to have a sharepoint page display computer information on the page from the users device (Machine name, ip, logged in user, OS Version etc)? I have a powershell script that can get this information however I've not found a way i can run this on the page when it opens. Any help would be apricated. thanks
Filter to where I can see items assigned to [Me] but still can see all items in personal view.
Hi, I have a list with public views where a column is filtered for Delegate = [Me]. So this means a user can only see records where user is a "Delegate". All users have contribute access + cannot create, change and delete private views. However, some users have created private views PRIOR to being changed to contribute access only. These private views created PRIOR users can still see all items and edit them. Where I dont want them to be able to. Any work arounds for this? Am I missing something?Power Automate and SharePoint List Required field URL
Morning: I have a problem. I am creating an automation based on a SharePoint list. The automation will check for date, and send a notification out when a document needs to be revised, at which point, the Document's status will change form Live to "Due revision". To make that change, i added an Update File and here is the problem The list has "Required" fields one of them is "Document Title" which is a Hyperlink type. this field has 2 parts, URL and Alternative Text. The Alternative text is what displays on the list The problem is, when using Power Automate "Get Items" " Document Title" on the "Update Item" action, then it will display the URL on the list instead of the document name (instead of showing the name of the Document it shows URL) So, is there a way to sort this out (other than changing the filed to not required - since it is an important one) Thank you
Having issues with SPFx isolation build lately
Hello We have a customer using an isolation version of our product and when we built a new version last week, it stopped working with below error. Unfortunately, once we install the new build, replacing with the older ones that used to work stopped working and showing the same error. "authorize:90 Unsafe attempt to initiate navigation for frame with origin 'https://xxxx.sharepoint.com' from frame with URL 'https://login.microsoftonline.com/..........'. The frame attempting navigation of the top-level window is sandboxed, but the flag of 'allow-top-navigation' or 'allow-top-navigation-by-user-activation' is not set" We would really appreciate how to handle these errors. Thanks Vijay
