How to create a list in site not in app using SP hosted app
Hi All, I just want to know can we create a list using visual studio while creating SP hosted app in SP online, but the list resides in site on which i am hosting that app not on that particular...
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
- Ok Juan, I was trying to create site column of lookup type but there is some coming in my case, could you please help me on this find my code below var requestUri = _spPageContextInfo.webAbsoluteUrl + "/_api/web/fields"; $.ajax({ url: requestUri, type: "POST", async : false, data : "{ 'parameters': { '__metadata': { 'type': 'SP.FieldCreationInformation' }, 'FieldTypeKind': 7, 'Title': 'SelectLanguageTest', 'LookupListId': 'cc481bd2-713e-4915-a3fd-7d1fa57df81c', 'LookupFieldName': 'Title' } }", headers: { "accept": "application/json;odata=verbose", "content-type": "application/json;odata=verbose", "X-RequestDigest": $("#__REQUESTDIGEST").val() }, success: onSuccess, error: onError });
