Create A list from another list gives error
We created two SharePoint sites from a Teams creation, two teams (A&B). I created a list successfully under General in SharePoint. Now I go to the other teams site and I want to create another list...
beshr1993I had, and still have, the same issue on "some" lists on the same site. I've not yet needed to use this on other sites. I could not find any consistency at all in any way as to why it behaved as it did.
After hours and hours and weeks and weeks with an open Microsoft ticket, this was the final reply...

Hi Cindy,
Good day to you! How are you doing? Thanks for your response. To answer your question, there seems to be a code fix required to comprehensively fix the issue so that this functionality becomes more resilient to handle this kind of scenario instead of not progressing and getting stuck. That will take much time and there is no ETA for that at the moment. Since workaround is already available, please continue to use that. For this reason, we will need to archive this ticket for now. However I will review the status in a month or something and will share an update to you from my end."
That was in March and I've heard no more. The workaround is to go to Classic and create a template.
I have the same problem too!! I have many events in my site and I want to create a [sign up] list for each of these events. I created the list template and it's perfect, and I found the option to create new lists from existing lists. But whenever I try, I get this same error. I tried on IE and Edge and it does not work either.
Any clues?
No, u tried this on another tenant and it works. Some others have tried it and it works. The only thing I can think of is to delete the original list and recreate it with a different name. It is possible the original list site is broken. And deleting it will take 30days unless PS commands are used to delete.
fixxser Yep, I trying creating from different lists, including old ones and just-made ones and neither worked. I will ask some colleagues of mine to try doing it themselves to see if the problem is from my account only, but I doubt that is the case.
Could it be simply because my company does not have a full roll out of Office 365 yet and this is like a missing feature?

And I'm interested if you heard back from Microsoft about this? Did they give you a workaround perhaps? I hope you can help me. Thank you in advance. Greetings from Angelique Spruit.
