BUG Report
5 TopicsHighlighted Content: "Show title and commands" Toggle Switch Not Working
Hi, I've been building my second SharePoint, and have run into what I can only assume is a bug. I have liked using "Highlighted Content" as a way to limit the number of documents to 1, and switching off "Show title and commands" so it shows the user only the document they need, and doesn't allow them to explore all the other documents uploaded on the site, by clicking "See all". As mentioned I have already built a site before and so have never ran into this problem until now, as it historically has always worked, but the toggle switch to turn on or off "Show title and commands" is not working at all. In my case, I cannot switch it off, which of course is a bug of some kind, and is happening for members of my team too. So I know it's a bug for more than one admin using the site, I have tested this issue on another page, and another site entirely to which it failed to work. I also used another web part "News" to see whether it would present the same issue, as it also includes this toggle switch, which it didn't and the switch worked. Which means it could just be this web part. I really don't think there's answer for this, and this is more of a report the bug kind of deal, but any comments of support are welcome!

Just wondering how one is supposed to report an issue or bug found in SharePoint Online within this Tech Community area? I wrote up a clear bug almost a year ago and have heard nothing back from Microsoft despite tagging it with all sorts of things like Bug report, bug, issue, etc. Here is the bug report: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/sharepoint/list-properties-web-part-showing-unselected-fields-after-item-is/m-p/2615537/emcs_t/S2h8ZW1haWx8dG9waWNfc3Vic2NyaXB0aW9ufEtSWjBRRkNGWEtOQ1oxfDI2MTU1Mzd8U1VCU0NSSVBUSU9OU3xoSw#M52668 Be great to know what happens to bug reports, and also to hopefully get (after nearly a year) Microsoft's eyes on this particular bug (link above).

As already discussed in some previous threads collapsible sections have a lowered functionality when being linked to; even though Section headers have anchor links, these have very limited function as they only bring you to the overall page with all sections. This is especially useless when you are trying to keep the page clean by collapsing your sections by default. The thread presents a workaround by adding an additional header within your collapsed section, which will open the section on landing, but you will end up with a redundant header: Collapsible section name Collapsible section name (redundant) This is less than ideal and means always repeating your section names, it also doesn't work properly when you want to link from one section to another on the same page. Additionally, if you try searching your Site for a keyword contained in one of the sections, not only will it not bring you to the paragraph containing the keyword, it will only open the page with all sections collapsed and with a focus on the very top of the page. Therefore there is no point in searching when you decided for Collapsible section organization for your pages, the Sharepoint basically tells you "It is somewhere on this page". You still need to expand each section and either scan the page to find the searched keyword, or use Ctrl+F. Is there a way to report this to the actual developers so they can implement web functions that have existed since 1991? anchor link opens the page, moves the section title to the top of focus and opens a collapsed section (perhaps this could be a toggle in section options) clicking a result in Sharepoint search does the above and additionally highlights the searched keyword within the section Thanks for reading.8.4KViews3likes3CommentsList properties web part showing unselected fields after item is edited
I've noticed (what I think is) a bug with the 'List properties' web part in SharePoint Online. Here's what I'm doing: I add a 'Document library' web part to a SharePoint modern site page and choose a document library. I add a 'List properties' web part to the same page. I connect the 'List properties' web part to the 'Document library' web part. I set 'Allow users to edit list items' to 'On'. In the 'Select fields to display' section of the 'List properties' web part, I select four of the ten fields (my Document library has ten fields). What do I expect? When I select an item in the 'Document library' web part, I expect the four fields that I selected to display in the 'List properties' web part to appear for the selected document. I expect to be able to edit any of those four fields. When I finish making my edits to any or all of the four fields, I still only see the four fields I selected to display. What happens? The four fields that I selected to display in the 'List properties' web part to appear for the selected document. GOOD! I can edit any of the four fields. GOOD! When I finish my edits to any or all of the four fields, ALL of the ten fields are then displayed and are editable. NOT SO GOOD! Is this a bug? I really think it is and if so, can someone at Microsoft take a look into this and hopefully fix it? Thanks.2.3KViews0likes4CommentsNews Web Part rendering issues
Is anyone noticing major rendering issues with the SharePoint Online News web part? The issues are similar to this post... https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/sharepoint/changes-to-top-story-news-web-part/m-p/2586536 ...but the impact is also on other 'Layout' types. It is almost as if Microsoft have broken their CSS or something, as the images used in news item banners are rendering as full size, rather than being cropped and having a gradient applied (to ensure text is readable in the web part). My configuration of the web part is as shown below (or attached), and I can confirm that this issue is happening in multiple tenants, and mulitple site collections. In fact, I can't find any site collection where this issue ISN'T occurring. Be very keen to hear of others experiencing this, and would be grateful if others could test this in their own tenants to see how widescale the problem is. Thanks, Joe7.2KViews3likes22Comments
