Duplicate a list from one team to another

Hi,    I have created a list in a team and would like to copy it and use it in another team. Is this possible without having to manually recreate everything ?

    I'm wanting to do the same thing, and found some not-too-good solutions.

     

    The easiest would be to re-enable the old "Save List As Template" feature via PowerShell, but that's not really best practice, and you'd need to do it on every site you wanted to copy the list to.

     

    Another way, which I haven't tried, would be to export the list structure using PnPs Provisioning Template commands, then import them using the import set of commands, you'd then need to use Power Automate to copy the content from one to the other.

     

    There are 2rd party tools that can do this too, if you don't mind forking out $$$.
