- Yes, it is possible if the list is created after your Add-in is provisioned...if you are thinking on creating the list while the Add-in (SharePoint-Hosted) is provisioned, is not going to be possible. The only way to create the list from your SharePoint-Hosted Add-in is from an action you define there so you can use that action (a button for instance) to create the list in the host site
- Hey Juan thanks for your reply, if i am not wrong you are saying me to create a button and write some REST API code to create list in my host site and call this code on clicking of that button ?
- Yeap, that's what I meant
