Internal Server 500 Error Sharing Document Library
Our organization ended up opening a support ticket with Microsoft to help with this problem. We didn't necessarily correct the issue, but we tracked it back to a custom site column that had a calculated default value associated with it. The column was setting a default value for the current Fiscal Year based on the current date. For some reason if the user did not have at a minimum site-level access the page would return the Internal 500 Server error.
To work around this we simply removed the default calculated value for this particular document library that needs to be shared out to the "Everyone" group.
Hi folks,
Not having this error per se, but similar relating to an intermittent issue with the Preview not working. Using a modern library that only contains PDF files with all users having VIsitor access. The user clicks on details for the document, and the pane opens up, but you only see the pdf icon, it never resolves to showing the preview (see below image). Again, this is intermittent and doesn't seem to occur when using classic view.
On a different note, why has Microsoft now required users to actually click on the "details" buttons in order to preview, instead of having teh details show up when you click on the ellipses (...)?? In SP2013, this was a time saver and many of my users loved having this feature. Now their not so happy, having to click twice to get to details from dropdown, or move their mouse to far right in order to open details.
Thanks much for anyone sharing if having similar pains around the intermittent preview issue,
Cindy
