Intermittent failures when creating new libraries in modern SharePoint
Hi everyone, I’m seeing an issue in our modern SharePoint Online site collection where creating new document libraries has started failing. This site has worked normally for years, but over the past week, most library creation attempts haven't worked. 1) The page briefly flashes or glitches during the creation process. and 2) A non‑ending spinning wheel when I hit "create" or 3) Creation attempts return “Something's not right.” error page. The failures happen across all subsites, in multiple browsers, and I’m a Site Collection Administrator. No permission changes were made recently. Has anyone seen similar intermittent library creation failures in a modern site collection, or know what might cause this kind of inconsistent behavior? Any guidance would be appreciated. Thanks!

Issue: Date picker / calendar icon disappeared from Page Details pane
Hi everyone, I am reaching out to see if anyone else is experiencing a recent issue with the Date field in SharePoint Online. Since yesterday (January 15th), the calendar icon / date picker has disappeared from the Page Details pane when editing properties for News pages. Here are the details of the issue: The Problem: When clicking on a Date column in the Page Details pane, the calendar selector no longer pops up. Manual Entry: It is still possible to type the date manually, but the visual interface is gone. Comparison: Interestingly, the date picker works perfectly fine when using "Edit in grid view" in the Site Pages library. The issue seems specific to the side property pane (Details pane). Browsers tested: I have reproduced the issue on both Microsoft Edge and Google Chrome (latest versions), even after clearing the cache. Is this a known bug following a recent update, or is there a new UI setting I might have missed? Has anyone seen a similar report in the M365 Service Health dashboard? Thanks in advance for your help!
Sharepoint site's customized column become 'Read-Only'
We have a SharePoint Intranet that has been in active use for 14+ months. I have a customized column Expiration Date for News Expiry. Recently, all custom columns added to Site Pages (Page Details) or News pages have become read-only immediately after clicking Save. Key points: - Issue occurs for ALL column types (Date, Date & Time, Text, etc.) - Fields are editable for the first time. - As soon as Save is clicked and page or news came to draft status and the field become read-only. - Happens for both Draft and Published pages. - Editing in Site Pages library Grid view still works. - This behavior started recently without any configuration changes. Has anyone else experienced this?
Add items Permission level
Hi, I'd like to know a way to set permissions on a list so that users in the SharePoint site - Members group can't see existing items in the list that don't have unique permissions assigned. They can only add new items in this list. Once an item is created, a workflow would be triggered that would add a unique permission only for that item. The problem is that when creating a Permission Level with only the ability to add items, the user loses access to the custom item creation form.Different languages in different sites
Hi, My Sharepoint sites are appearing in multi languages and it's really annoying. I have changed my account language in to Japanese once and then changed back to English. However, almost sites still appears in Japanese. Could anyone guide me away to change back to English for all. Thank you,
SharePoint Classic Templates
Hello community! So we all know that classic sites need to be converted to modern sites, however, if you have a site that was built on a classic template (but has since been converted to a modern site), do you really need to do anything else? I could honestly give less of a crap what happens to classic templates, I just want to make sure that my site which was originally built on a classic template isn't in jeopardy. My knee-jerk reaction is "no" because otherwise there would be thousands upon thousands of sites that likely break. Thoughts, feelings, and opinions appreciated. Thanks!
PnP Search Results Handlebars template saves but does not reflect on UI
Hi everyone, I am working with the PnP Search Results web part in SharePoint Online and facing an issue where a custom Handlebars result template saves successfully but does not reflect on the UI. I created a table-style Handlebars template with columns Document, Region, Country, Language, Status and Validation Date, one row per document. Documents are returned correctly and filters based on the same refinable properties work as expected. Debug output using JSONstringify(item) confirms that all refinable values are present. The same if-condition logic using item.RefinableStringXX works in a list-style layout, but in a table layout the template saves without errors and either does not reflect on the UI or renders rows with empty metadata columns. Inline bindings do not render unless wrapped in if blocks and even after fixing this the UI sometimes continues to show the previous layout. Managed property mappings, selected properties, indexing and library reindexing have already been verified. Has anyone experienced this behavior with PnP Search Results templates or knows if this is related to caching, result types overriding templates or a known limitation with table-style Handlebars layouts?
Multilangual sites - how to link pages as an language version
Hello everyone, before the introduction of multilingualism in SharePoint we started to build 2 independent site collections to represent two languages. With the multilingualism these are to be integrated now to a common Site. In the page properties I could not yet find a property that links the page of the default language with the respective translation page. Is it also possible to copy existing pages into a page library and then assign them manually as language variants of a site?
