Copy SharePoint List to the another new site
sbhan4 you can add a new list via "Site Contents" referencing the list from the other site. This will being over the structure and any dependent lists. Then, export all of the data from the other list(s) out to Excel and then import it into the new list(s). You'll lose, history, etc. but at least you have your data. There may very well be cleaner/better ways but it's simple enough.
Thank you for your suggestion.
Actually, I m using the SharePoint Teams site and don't see an export option. Can you help me where I can find your mentioned option?
sbhan4 There appears to be no way to "move" a list from one Sharepoint site to another within the tenant. This is a major design flaw. Luckily I discovered this issue early on and only spent a few hours trying to find the answer. Back to using Excel. It's bizarre that you can move documents but not lists.You can move list templates! Aren't documents stored as lists? Is there a Powershell command to copy lists? no one seems to know.It does not seem to be in the PS documentation.
Al_B_inPT after you have created the structure of the new list from the previous one you can copy all the items into the new list with a flow in Power Automate, then delete the old list.
