Copy a List Structure
I would like to copy a list structure (the list without the contents) from one O365 SharePoint Site to another. I've read a few postings that suggest saving the list as a template. However, I do not have the "save as a template" option on my list settings. I am both an owner and site admin.
Thanks for any guidance.

Do you have the SharePoint publishing feature activated?
When this feature is active you can’t save a site or a list as template and you have to use other ways for provisioning.
We are using SP Online and it works perfectly.
But for often use it is better to use other technologies like SharePoint PNP.
- The recommendation is to use remote provisioning and PnP stuff to extract the list definition and easily replicate in other sites. Save as template feature is just a legacy feature that should be avoided
