Save list as template on modern team site

Wonder if anyone can advise how I can create a list in a modern sharepoint team site from a template that I saved from a classic team site. I don't see any option from within powershell settings. ...

Scott Preston I've read this thread and am none the wiser about how to achieve this? I am not competent in PnP etc but I have created a new team site with multiple doc libraries and associated permissions. I just want to save it as a template as it would be very time consuming to recreate many times. Can anyone help (simply) explain why this is not seemingly achievable through the UI - happy to run some powershell. How did you achieve this in the end?

Please help - this is the end of a long week trawling the internet for assistance and I'm getting nowhere!

SarahTurner it's sad that you're stuck with PowerShell or a third party tool to do what used to be a few clicks in classic SharePoint.

Agree.... however I can't even find a 3rd party tool that can do this... can anyone recommend? Or share a powershell script?
I'm new to this and am tearing my hair out!

  SarahTurner , our SharePoint admin uses a tool called ShareGate. He used it to migrate artifacts from one SharePoint site to another, but I don't see why you couldn't use it to make multiple copies of a template list.

Not just sad, ridiculous and irresponsible comes to mind.
