Ghost item in modern library on edge

Steel Contributor

We experience an issue with the modern library in IE and Edge (it's ok in Chrome).

 

A dummy group "unassigned" is visible containing one item, the item is not visible when expanding the grouped field. This ghost item is also not visible when exporting all items. Chrome correctly displays three groups instead of four.

Does the item also appear when you are using Classic View?
Does the item also appear when you choose a different view in the list?
Kind regards

Great questions John. It doesn't appear in any other views, only when grouping on this partcular field.

Can you show the list using a view that includes the affected column and do make sure that there is not filtering in the view, then try and see if the item shows up!

Also provide some information on how the affected column is defined (lookup, single line of text, etc) ?

Kindly inform about the result :)

Hi John, this is the exact same view in classic view:

 

 

 

 

Hi John, this is the exact same view (Actieve) in classic and modern layout:

There is nog filtering set on the view and the field is a mandatory choice field.

Hi @bart vermeersch,

Ho wmany items are there in the list ( when you go to the site contents what is the number of items displayed). It looks a bit like a publishing/checkin issue. I'm assuming that you are logged in as the same use user in both cases.

 

Would you be able to run PowerShell to get all list items in your list?

 

Using PnP PowerShell you could run a script to check all the lists items.

 

So something like this (untested):

 

$web = Get-PnPWeb
$web.Context.Load($web.Lists)
$web.Context.ExecuteQuery()
$list = $web.GetList("List name")
[Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.CamlQuery] $query = New-Object -TypeName Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.CamlQuery
$query.ViewXml = "<View><Query><Where><Gt><FieldRef Name='Id'/><Value Type=''>0</Value></Gt></Where></Query></View>";
$items = $list.GetItems(query)

 

 

Hello @Pieter Veenstra 

 

Based on the site contents, the total amount of items does not include the ghost item.

Exporting the list does not include the ghost item.

REST call does not include the ghost item.

 

 

Is that a Doc Library, if so, go to the Library Settings and look at  Manage files which have no checked in version 

No, its a custom list, approval flow is not enabled.

We are seeing the same ghost items in all browsers.  Any fix for this?
