Microsoft Lists - The requested operation is part of an experimental feature that is not supported..
Oh yeah, someone in development definitely broke it and I think they're scrambling right now trying to get it fixed. I wasted like 4 hours today trying to figure it out and I think it's a bug deep in the foundation code that got pushed out in a recent update. I've have 2 Office 365 E5 accounts (Development and Corporate) and my dev account is about 5 years active and the corporate one that I'm the admin for is about a year. Both accounts have used lists previously.
This morning on my dev account I could a list to an existing sharepoint site, but if I tried to do create one and add it to My Site, it popped the error. On the corporate account I couldn't add one to a SharePoint site, or My Site. Here's where things get a little weird. Currently, at the time of writing this I can now create a list from a template to both of my accounts in both SharePoint and My Sites. But...... only in my dev account to a SharePoint site can I create a new list that actually is the modern theme. When I create one and publish it to My Sites, or a SharePoint site on my corporate account the newly created list comes up in SharePoint 2013 format! If I go to list settings / advanced settings / list experience and change the option from "Default experience for site", to "new experience", BAM, it's back. Please note that I know these settings haven't been touched in my dev account in years, because the account has been sitting dormant for the past 9 months, so I know it isn't something I done.
Lastly, for a major WTF moment. I can create a list successfully to all 4 options I've listed above on the iPad ios App and it works beautifully! One major hitch. When you get on a web browser and try to access the list created through iOS it's no where to be found. I had to navigate into the Site Settings / List and Libraries to find them. Then when I opened them through the web browser they reverted back to SharePoint 2013 style.
I don't know why I would assume that the largest software company in the world would test this crap before pushing it out. What a mess. I feel bad for those that are using lists in a big environment right now.
