Problems with Modern Issues List

It sure doesn't seem that too much testing was done on the modern issues lists.  I preferred to revert them back to classic until they work out some of the kinks. 

  1. First, for the description column, if it's set to rich formatting, the raw HTML is displayed when you edit the item!  This makes it unusable.  Disable-output-escaping anyone?
  2. The ID column takes up 296 px of space and you can't shrink it either!  Expanding Title just stretches it further.  The Title column isn't that wide, actually no other is. 
  3. The append comments works weird.  You edit the item, edit comments, add one and click save to go back to the edit form, but it didn't refresh to show the comment you just made so you think it didn't work.  If you save and re-open its there, and now its duplicated. 
  4. Editing and saving the form doesn't refresh the view, so if you made a status change to an item and its supposed to drop from the view it doesn't.  You get confused, check the item was updated, and check the view filter ... a simple refresh fixes.

None of these happen on a classic list.  These seem to be core functionality of an Issues list.

    Dont have the Issue ID show in the default view?

     

    My problem is that the modern list does not have the checkbox option to put a strike through when the task is completed.

    The old version did.

  • I'm also not very happy with the Issue Tracking Modern UI.

    1. But I'm not confirm that raw HTML is displayed, descirption field is rich formatting by default and works in Modern UI.

    2. ID an Title resizes simultaneously is also discussed https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/msoffice/forum/msoffice_sharepoint-mso_win10-mso_o365b/sharepoint-online-modern-ui-issues-log-app-list-id/5e58640e-5202-4f4a-bd97-aee54b5a0167 

    3. I'm not confirm this with Opera Browser - works as expected to me

    I have an issue with Related Issues Lookup in Modern UI Issue Tracking list (see post). Also related an Idea https://sharepoint.uservoice.com/forums/329214-sites-and-collaboration/suggestions/34676146-allow-change-field-type-for-a-choice-field-from-dr, when you change the field type of the categorie field.

      Thanks Daniel but I see no resolution there.  I am using IE11, and attaching a screenshot of the raw HTML.  Chrome does the same thing.  I verified the column is rich text.  I can live with the refresh issue, but the ID column and the raw HTML just kill it for me, I have to revert to classic.

        I can reproduce this when I change the field type of the decription field from Rich text (Default) to Enhanced rich text and add some text. Then, when I'm change the field type back form Enhanced rich text to Rich text a see the raw HTML Code.
