Re: Document template of content type (in content type hub) not found when creating new document
marco_du_cato This seems to be a bug, we've opened a support ticket with Microsoft and I would encourage you to do the same. There's another Tech Community post reporting the same issue here: Unable to create document from custom content type, using document templateRe: Unable to create document from custom content type, using document template
StewartAShark have you had any further information from Microsoft on this? I'm a bit surprised we haven't had much information or even an advisory in the admin center, given that our users aren't able to create documents while this bug exists.Re: Unable to create document from custom content type, using document template
We are thinking it's been a problem for at least 3 weeks or so. I've recreated the problem on multiple tenants since though. It's a big problem for some of our clients who have hundreds of sites relying on the Content Type Gallery. They simply cannot create files from the "New" menu using their content types and it's a major issue. For us, it is only affecting newly created sites which have recently pulled down the content type from the gallery. Therefore, I can see why there might not be more posts but I have spotted another tech community post reporting the problem. Surely this has to be fixed soon, as anyone using the flat architecture is out of luck if they want to use document templates with their content types, across many sites.Unable to create document from custom content type, using document template
If we create a content type in the Content Type Gallery and specify a document template URL, the content type cannot be used to create a new document in a library using the "New" menu (after pulling the content type in to the libary). The users have read access to the document template. When selecting the content type from the "New" menu, a tab is opened and then immediately closed. Upon inspection, the following error is found in the console: The document template is stored in a different site, to the site in which the content type is being used e.g. Template URL: /sites/Templates/Shared Documents/Short document template.dotx Library: /sites/Testteam/Shared Documents The content type is pulled from the Content Type Gallery, with the document template URL property already filled in. This also occurs if you https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/create-customize-content-type#associate-a-document-template-with-a-content-type and then pull that content type down to the site. This leads to a synchronisation error which can be found in the Content type publishing error log: When using the "New" menu it seems that the GetListUsingPath API call, is unable to handle a server relative URL that refers to a document template in another SharePoint site. The alternative of uploading the document template to the content type via the gallery, doesn't seem to work because the file is not synchronised to sites when the content type is pulled down. Steps to reproduce Create a custom content type in the Content Type Gallery, inheriting from the Document content type. Open the content type in the Gallery and click Settings and then Advanced settings Enter a URL of document template stored in a SharePoint site in your tenant. Ensure that you have access to this site and document template. Navigate to a library in a separate site to where your template is stored. Click the "+Add column", scroll to the bottom and click "Add a content type", then click Next. Choose the content type you created in step 1 and apply. Use the New menu and attempt to create a document using the content type. Expected behavior After clicking the content type from the "New" menu, a new document will be created using the document template for that content type.Re: Document template in an imported content type recently broken in SharePoint Online?
MattiasSundquist we're also experiencing this bug. Seems to affect content types that have document templates. Doesn't seem to matter whether the file is stored in the same site as the content type or if it's stored in another site.Re: No Wiki app in Microsoft Teams Public Preview
TobiasAT hopefully someone from Microsoft support can clarify because as stated in my question, the announcement is clear that Wikis would still be accessible (even if deprecated). If they aren't going to be accessible in the latest versions of Teams, then this statement is entirely inaccurate.No Wiki app in Microsoft Teams Public Preview
The Microsoft Teams Public Preview application seems to be missing the Teams Wiki app. In February 2023's SharePoint Roadmap Pitstop, the following was stated: Microsoft Teams: Wiki retirement and the future of note taking in Teams Channels We are announcing that Wiki's will be retired from Teams. We are offering note taking capabilities through Teams Channels powered by OneNote. With this release, users have an option to export their wiki content to OneNote notebooks in Teams standard channel. After exporting, users can go to the Notes tab to collaborate using OneNote in channels. Note: With this change users can continue to access and edit existing wikis but can’t create new wikis in Teams channels. Will Team's Wikis still be accessible in the new Microsoft Teams Windows app?Re: Add a template to a document library
