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:

  1. Go to https://<yoursite>.sharepoint.com//_layouts/15/viewlsts.aspx
  2. Click on + New
  3. Click on List
  4. Scroll down and click on Recipe tracker in the "Templates" section under the "From Microsoft" tab.
  5. Click on Use template
  6. Click on Create
  7. Go to https://<yoursite>.sharepoint.com/SitePages/Forms/AllPages.aspx
  8. Click on + New
  9. Click on Web Part Page
  10. Type in a name for the page in the "Name:" text box.
  11. 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.
  12.  Select Site Pages in the "Document Library" drop-down.

    N.B. the selection here did not seem to make any difference to the outcome.
  13. Click on Create
  14. Click on Add a Web Part
  15. Click on the right-facing arrow until you see Recipe tracker in the "Parts" list.
  16. Click on Recipe tracker
  17. Click on Add
  18. Select the Recipe tracker web part
  19. Click on Web Part tab at the top of the ribbon
  20. Click on Web Part Properties in the "Properties" section of the ribbon
  21. Select Recipe gallery from the "Selected View" drop-down in the "List Views" section on the right-hand side of the page
  22. Click on OK
  23. Receive error message, and the view has not changed.

    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. 🙂
