Teams SharePoint app no access to Lists
New list created within the SharePoint site (auto created by creating a new team space in Teams). Trying to add the SharePoint app as a tab to a channel and it's not displaying the list that I created.
- What list type? Pretty sure it only shows custom lists or a select number of list templates.
Thanks for the quick reply Chris.
I'm thinking there's an issue as I used Excel to export to SharePoint as I was migrating an existing list from one Team space to another.
The list appears as a choice within the app if I create a new list from within the SharePoint site using the standard new page wizard but it doesn't appear to work if I add via export from Excel.My exact workflow was export list to Excel from the list in the original SharePoint site and then exported it back in to the new site. Somehow in this process something is triggered to not enable the new list to be picked up by the SharePoint app in Teams.
aexley I can confirm what you suspected. Unless you create a list from the Wizard (kind of manually), the list will not appear as selectable in the Teams site. It is not a big deal unless you have hundreds of columns to create by hand. Data you may already have in your Excel workbook can be copy-pasted easily with the QuickEdit option in the list itself.
Thanks for giving that hint.
