SharePoint view filtered to Me
Hello! Is it possible to create a view, or JSON format a view, when a field contains my information that is not a people picker field? I have a multiple line of text field where I enter a JSON object with user emails. Is there a way to change the view to only show the line item if that text field contains my email? I have tried using that field with Contains [Me] but that does not work. Presumably as [Me] is for people picker fields. Is there a way to add a filter to the view to look for my email?
Hero and Quick Links web parts not supporting library and folder links
In the last few days, I noticed the "picker" modal used by the Hero and Quick Links visually changed. I didn't think anything of it at first until I realized the Hero web part was no longer allowing me to select libraries or folders to serve as the link. This was using the "Site" blade, which appropriately shows all the libraries and lets me drill into each and see the contents, but the ability to select a library or folder doesn't work. To make matters much worse, the "From a link" blade doesn't work either. "From a link" now seems to have a new validation component, so when I attempt to paste in a library or folder URL (i.e. https://tenant.sharepoint.com/sites/HR/Benefits) it detects that it's a SharePoint resource and displays a folder for me to select before I'm allowed to commit it - problem is, I still can't select this. I've tried pointing to the .aspx page that correlates to a library/folder view - doesn't work. I tried creating a Link in the library/folder that points to itself - I can't select these either. The Quick Links web part, on the other hand, does allow me to select these - same exact UI but allows for selecting libraries and folders. This does work for folders, but does not work for libraries. It visually looks like it works for libraries, but when you save the change is not really committed. I'm genuinely surprised to not have found this issue reported elsewhere so far. I assume this has to be a bug and hope it's fixed soon - allowing your most popular web parts to link to the root of content in your own platform is one of the most basic feature requirements and for this to break and not be noticed is pretty alarming.
Sites webpart not showing all sites in the hub
Hi there A few days ago I created a parent hub, and associated some sites. Then I made those sites a second level hub, and associated sites to the second level. In the second level hub sites, I created a sites web part to show all sites in the hub. But it only chooses one, or maybe 3 to 4 but not all of the sites. I have the permission to add sites to the hubs. I put in a call to Microsoft, heard back after 2 days which they said they would go away and find an answer and I've not heard back. Is there a particular method to doing this. Eg. Should I go back to the Admin Centre, disassociated sites, unregister hubs then redo it all in a particular order? (not preferred option) or is there another way I can get the sites web part to render sites. Thanks in advance.
Managed MetaData and Document Libraris
Hello, we are currently going through the process of setting up managed metadata tags on our SharePoint Online systems. The requirement has been identified that any documents need to be tagged with some labels, and I would like to make it so that, when the user creates or uploads a document to the libraries in question, that there be a popup window or some other form of forced interaction for the user that will require them to set the tags that we are wanting to use. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated, cheers.What Are the Best Practices for Implementing Microsoft Power Automate in a Growing Organization?

Linking documents/pictures to other sites?
What is the correct way to use documents and images stored in a Home Site library on other SharePoint sites? I need to embed images and create hyperlinks to documents on pages in other sites. I have been using the “Copy link” button, which creates a sharing link with individual user permissions. The problem is that if I move the picture to another folder within the same library, the image sometimes disappears from the page. Occasionally the share link still works after moving the file, but not always. What is the recommended way to do this, and is it fully supported?
