Teams List Type changed
The most infuriating bug happened a few days ago. I used a teams list to track problems in my project. I hadnt accessed this list in a week and when I returned I found out it had switched to a file explorer ! Since it didnt get deleted there was nothing to restore. All the content was gone completely and I was looking at a random folder within the team's files.
How can this even happen ? Is it possible to change the type of the tab like this ?
This has replaced an extensive list of bugs which is irreplacable.
This was a List in Teams created with the List app? Does it still exist in the Lists web app? Login to https://login.microsoftonline.com and look for the Lists icon on the left app rail > click on it. Does the List still exist there with the data in? If not restore it from the SharePoint recycling bin
If it persists in Teams, remove and re-add the app and add an existing list
Best, Chris

- The list still exists with all of its contents when I access Sharepoint via the browser. This was not the case but when I deleted it and restored it from the bin it returned it to its original state. It is still a file explorer in the Teams desktop app. This closes the issue for me since I can now just move all the contents to a different platform.
Thank you for your quick help.
