Will Modern Pages ever allow "Web Part Connections" (to link related lists)? How about "Filters"?
This has been added to the Roadmap as coming in 2019.
Has anyone achieved anything of use in regards to connecting a list web part to another list web part so you can show a parent / child related list easily? In the classic experience, you had a list view and you could edit the display page and add a second related list to show related records. Since related lists are key to how I would imagine EVERYONE uses sharepoint, I am very surprised and somewhat shocked that this isnt yet possible.
Thanks everyone, happy Friday.
- Only connecting a list to the same list unfortunately... I've been following this thread in hopes someone has a breakthrough on this or MS finally releases this functionality.
Does anyone know if, on sharepoint online, should the classic sharepoint webpages still have all the filter webparts? We're missing ALL the filter webparts on our sharepoint.epiqbrian thanks for the reply, thats what I feared, its clear MS have been severely short sighted implementing these new modern web parts.
I was hoping the "list properties" web part where you have select Display = Selected Item would yield an for Display = Related Record but to no avail, or even that you could vary the "connect to source" setting and have this display the child list.
Certainly very very annoying to find this is still missing.
- Have you guys ever considered making use of PowerApps? It's literally a thousand times more powerful than connecting lists in classic. You can easily have a webpart for it, if it has to live on a page, and you can connect many lists with much more powerful logic behind the app in the web part section for it.
