What happened to the New Lists Templates with Approvals?
According to MC525660 , the roll-out of the new Lists templates with Approvals app integration to Standard Release was supposed to be complete by "late September 2023 (previously late August)". While I do have access to this feature in my developer tenant where I am on the Targeted Release channel, my colleagues and I still aren't seeing it in the Standard Release channel in our production tenant.
Has the schedule slipped again, and Microsoft just forgot or didn't bother to update the Message Center post? Or is something wrong in our tenant?
Thanks!
Well, I just had a very frustrating call with Microsoft Support. Basically, the feature is still
in developmentrolling out, but the product team can't or won't put back the Message Center post with an updated date of when the deployment is expected to complete. We're all just left to watch the Microsoft 365 Roadmap to find out when (if ever) the feature gets rolled out to production.Edit: The feature is now available in the production ring in our tenant.
- I'm seeing the same behavior - available in my dev tenant, not available in my work tenant, despite being signed up for targeted releases. I've not seen any updates on it since your screenshot as well.
- Thanks for confirming, Kelly. I opened a ticket over a week ago with Microsoft 365 Support but aside from an email saying "We currently are experiencing the high call volume... we will assign the case to next available engineer", I have heard nothing.
- Well, now this is interesting. The message center post for this new feature has just... vanished. I do still have access to the feature in my developer tenant, but who knows for how much longer.
- I bet they rolled them out, found a bug, and had to roll them back.
- If that were the case, I would have expected the team to update the message center post accordingly, not to delete it entirely.
My theory is that the Lists team was impacted by the layoffs of 10,000 Microsoft employees that occurred in the spring, and they no longer have the resources to deliver the feature, but rather than coming clean about it, they're trying to sweep it under the rug. I hope I'm wrong.Well, I just had a very frustrating call with Microsoft Support. Basically, the feature is still
