Save list as template on modern team site

I just noticed that it's not possible to use the "Save list as template" functionality which is located unter "Permissions and Management" in the list settings.

 

On a site collection that has been created as a classic one it is still possible. Should I activate any feature on the modern site or is it not possible in general?

  • You have to "allow custom script" in order to see the Save list as template option.

      Any option to use it later to duplicate the list in a modern site?

      That's the part I'm missing :(

        You should better use Site Scripts / Site Designs to replicate your list or even PnP. In general, avoid to use the legacy Save as template option

    Depending on your needs i really would advice to use PnP instead of save list as template.

      Yeah I agree, but in this case I just wanted to go the "quick and easy" way because I also wanted to take all the items with me...

       

      At all I don't understand why the functionality is not visible anymore.

        Ok i understand would ShareGate or other 3rd party software not be a better option?

  • You can manage to save the list as template by typing the save list as template url in the browser...but even you can save the list as template, you will see that the template is not going to be listed in the apps gallery to be used to create new lists
