Hi Marta, I found your first request here. I remember, that if I send a team into archive (which is possible in the Teams Admin Center), my lists and libraries in the Teams SharePoint Base are archived as well. Did somebody archive your Team (private Group) by accident??

Hi Eva. Thanks for answering me.

I don't really understand what you are saying but I have the same problem in a Team where I'm the owner and the only member (is the one that I use to try things before updating the ones with other people), and I haven´t change anything there that I remember

    I have just realized one thing, eventhough all the fields seem to be blank when editing, only the ones with date format maintein their value when saving.

    I tried creating a new list with 2 columns (number and text) and it worked fine, then I add another column with date format and the same problem appeared.

    I really don't understand anything. Is any of this ringing a bell for you?

    Thanks again.

    best regards, Marta

      Hi Marta, pls. check your regional settings, like language and currency settings in your M365 Account.
      Here attached 4 you to little films: first to check your permissons level in SharePoint( user15 is a Member, Me=Site Owner) and second film is about your regional settings. That includes keyboard and (!) currency settings. Maybe your Tenant was set only for English settings (reset after update?). Occasionally I have that issue, when I initialize a new Flow with Power Automate and currency Fields, then the flow settings are reset to english. Are you working with Power Automate Flows? That could be a reason.

      Please make sure your Account Settings (including the Office Apps!) are in Spanish. If you cannot change these settings, pls. write a ticket to your Teams Admin.

        MartaGM this little tutorial is the stuff about checking your own permission level in a sharepoint site. If it is a standard level "Member" (Mitglied) or "Owner"(Besitzer) you should be able to edit all items in that list. If not, maybe your Owner knows why (this is the user level to control the Members and their access)... 😉
