New Lists app in Teams

Hello,    Since its release this month, we've been exploring the possibilities with the Lists app within Teams, and so far it's not as cool as we'd hoped. I am finding that it only allows creation ...

Well same thing, works in my other tenant as well. Have you tried via teams.microsoft.com web client and see if issue persists there?

ChrisWebbTech - I have the same issue within the Teams web client as well. The list is open to "Everyone external users" and I am the company Admin. I had our other company Admin run the same steps I did to add the list and of course it's working for him... Very odd. I will try an Office repair and see if that helps. It's definitely just me. 

 

Thank you,

Morghan

    morghandc I'm having a similar problem, but not really identical:

    in the original team where the lists tab was created everyone can view it normally

    in the numerous other teams where the lists tab was configured to add an existing list (the above), everyone can see the tab, but it is just a blank tab.. nothing loads.

     

    some additional info:

    under manage access (of the original list), all other teams were given full control

    we tried multiple combinations, adding users directly, adding users as part of a group (team) etc., but tab still shows blank

    lists tab works when opened in a web browser, but teams doesn't work in incognito for me (something to do with third-party cookies, but ignore me)

    the strange part is if you get a user to join the original team and access the list once, the list can be viewed from all other teams of this user..

      Sheesh! MS must still be working out some of the bugs... Our goal is to embed List A in Team 1, and List B in Team 2, so I will have our other org Admin add these (as it seems to work for him) on Monday and I'll let you know the results. 

       

      As another troubleshooting step, I just tried adding List A to an entirely different Team but same issue for me...

        morghandc quick update on my progress, i tried removing everyone's access to the List A of Team 1 then i re-added access for Team 2, 3, 4 and so on (via sharepoint).

        i'm getting some replies saying they (those who are not in Team 1) can view List A now, within the tab of their own Team (instead of a blank screen).

        will continue to monitor.

        <EDIT> spoke too soon, users (those who are not in Team 1) are looking at a blank screen again..

    Very strange. Tried another machine? Incognito browser? I do know thou that some users have different SP / Teams builds, like I don't have new SP Lists experience, but my other IT Team members do, so if another machine, it might be a deployment issue even still, just a hunch, but I don't know what else it could be there outside of possibly having different app policies or something in Teams but that shouldn't matter since you can add it.
