SharePoint Online List Webpart Views Ignored (Team site Classic Experience)
Can anyone confirm that none of a list's views can be applied to it inserted in to a page as a web part?
The Web Part Properties section gives the following message if anything other than All Items is selected for Selected View:
Cannot save all of the property settings for this Web Part. Cannot complete this action. Please try again.
I thought the issue might be with my custom list, so I created a new list using the Recipe Tracker template. I made no additions, changes, or edits to the list content or definition. I created a new Web Part page and inserted the Recipe Tracker Web Part. The behaviour is the same.
Steps to reproduce:
- Go to https://<yoursite>.sharepoint.com//_layouts/15/viewlsts.aspx
- Click on + New
- Click on List
- Scroll down and click on Recipe tracker in the "Templates" section under the "From Microsoft" tab.
- Click on Use template
- Click on Create
- Go to https://<yoursite>.sharepoint.com/SitePages/Forms/AllPages.aspx
- Click on + New
- Click on Web Part Page
- Type in a name for the page in the "Name:" text box.
- Select Full Page, Vertical in the "Choose a Layout Template:" list.
N.B. the selection here did not seem to make any difference to the outcome. - Select Site Pages in the "Document Library" drop-down.

The List that you are creating is a modern List, and you are trying to display the modern list in a classic web part page (wiki page), this is not supported and it will not work. As a workaround, create a modern Site Page and use List / Library webpart.
Modern experience is recommended moving forward. Hope this helps. 🙂
