Unable to open task item in new experience *_000
I had raised a call with an MS Support Engineer from "EMEA SharePoint Online Customer Services and Support". I was able to demonstrate the problem experienced and have subsequently been advised that modern lists are unsupported for the task list view. The alternative is to run the task list as classic. They advised that the best way to apply pressure to fixing/adopting modern view with a task list was via User Voice which I understand is now logged below and has 51 votes as of 3/7/18.
I quote:
"From what I can verify this these task lists are not supported in modern view.
When you create these task lists it is already prompted to Classic view. To keep using the list it is recommended that you keep using classic view.
The user voice is the best way to go since on my end I cannot apply extra pressure. The more votes the user voice gets the more visibility it will get. Although at the moment the Product Team informed me that it is a not supported situation."
My affected lists are not task lists, they are just custom lists, but created by exporting an Excel table to a SharePoint list. Is it the case then that such lists are no longer supported in modern UI, either?
- Sorry Beat. I tried. The support tech recommends that you log a call with MS as the environment will be different, tasks setup is different etc and have them investigate this seperately. My understanding though is that lists are not supported in modern view and whilst there might be some 3rd party apps out there that do and community efforts to develop something that might work, the out of the box experience does not. All we can do is keep pushing it on User Voice to get MS to listen.
Any news in this issue ?
- I've asked my support guy the question - if he replies - I will keep you posted.
