How to make News Post notification from SharePoint to Teams work?
Hi, I need help to make the notifications from news post work. I am experiencing issues where not all employees receive a notification in Teams when a new news post is published in SharePoint Online. From what I understand, it does not matter whether employees are following a site or not. I would like to ensure that everyone receives a notification every time.
SharePoint online document library - document properties not getting update values in word document
Hi All, We have created an application in SharePoint online. This application creates Word documents in which SharePoint list fields are merged. When creating a new item in SharePoint, the Word document shows the correct date values: 1. Create new item in SharePoint. Dates are 1/9/2025 and 2/9/2025 2. Opening the related word document shows This is correct behavior 3. Change any field through 'Edit properties'. Still the dates are 1 and 2/9/2025 4. If I open the Word document now I see that the dates have a value of 1 day less then the provided date. The category is updated correct. 5. When downloading the document the correct values are shown 6. Also when opening the document through View in browser > Edit document > Open in desktop, I see the correct values Question is: 1. Why don't we see the correct values when the Word document is directly opened in the browser? 2. Is there a possibility to open the Word document always in the Client (desktop) itself instead of directly on the browser? We already tried changing the below Advanced library settings (changed it in Open in Browser/use the server default), but this didn't gave the correct solution.
SharePoint List calculated column formula using a Lookup column reference
Given: A SharePoint List (SPL) called Contractors with the following columns: ContractorID // Display name of the default ID column ContractorName Another SPL called Reports with the following columns: ReportID // Display name of the default ID column ReportNumber // Calculated column Contractor_ID // Lookup column referring to the ContractorID column of the Contractors SPL The calculated column, ReportNumber, would have a formula similar to: = [ReportID] & "-" & Contractor_ID Question: Does SharePoint Lists support the use of a Lookup column in the formula of a calculated column? If so, I need help on the proper syntax for the formula. (The formula above is not working) Thanks in Advance
Issue with flat views in SharePoint Online
I use folders within a SharePoint list to organize list items. Additionally, I apply column formatting to update values in a column via button click using customRowAction (setValue). So far, so good... However, when I switch to a flat view (View without folders), this functionality no longer works, and error messages appear. This Error occures for example if I click on any displayed button. This issue occurs exclusively in the flat view and only affects items stored within folders. Additionally, there is another issue when using the Quick Edit feature to set a date field in the flat view. For items located inside a folder, the localization is incorrect. For example, if I select April 1st, SharePoint instead saves January 4th (German Localization). For items located outside a folder or when using a non-flat view, everything appears to function correctly. The attached video provides a demonstration of the issue.
TopicHeader (Text Above Title) Not Updating in SharePoint Online
Previously, I was updating the "OData_TopicHeader" property in Power Automate, and it correctly displayed as the Topic Header (text above the title) on the page. However, although the property is still being updated successfully, it no longer appears on the page as expected. Has anyone else experienced this issue, or is there an updated approach required to ensure the Topic Header displays correctly? Any insights would be appreciated.TopicHeader (Text Above Title) Not Updating in SharePoint Online

Power Automate and SharePoint List Required field URL
Morning: I have a problem. I am creating an automation based on a SharePoint list. The automation will check for date, and send a notification out when a document needs to be revised, at which point, the Document's status will change form Live to "Due revision". To make that change, i added an Update File and here is the problem The list has "Required" fields one of them is "Document Title" which is a Hyperlink type. this field has 2 parts, URL and Alternative Text. The Alternative text is what displays on the list The problem is, when using Power Automate "Get Items" " Document Title" on the "Update Item" action, then it will display the URL on the list instead of the document name (instead of showing the name of the Document it shows URL) So, is there a way to sort this out (other than changing the filed to not required - since it is an important one) Thank you
