SharePoint Foundation 2019 On-prem Alert Issue
Hello! We have SharePoint Foundation 2019 on-prem with configuration database version 16.0.10377.20000. I am the new administrator for this SharePoint application. When site administrators configure alerts on Lists, they receive an error, "Sorry, something went wrong" and "You do not have an e-mail address". Also, when they go to follow a site, they receive the error "500 INTERNAL SERVER ERROR". I have also noticed that when anyone goes to "About Me", the server switches from https://{name} to http://{servername}/my/person.aspx and the error "404 NOT FOUND" is displayed. Active Directory (AD) sync is properly configured and users have email addresses, from what is seen in the Central Administration portal. What the $@!#% is wrong with this server/installation? I greatly appreciate your help.
Onedrive failed to install on my mac
Dear Microsoft community, I am unable to install the onedrive app on my mac again. It is showing the same error everytime that "unable to install onedrive folder [name] at this moment", please try again later". I am unable to find any solution related to this issue on internet. I have checked all the settings and nothing worked out for my case. I have talked to the IT support from the institution and they are unable to fix it. Please help me in this issue. I shall be very thankful to you. ReNews 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, Joe
SharePoint Document Library Default Tags
Hello, We've ran into a small problem with the default column values feature on a SharePoint Online document library. We've set up the enterprise keyword columns default values on a library, and it works fine most of time and adds the tags to the uploaded file, but if a user uses the new button and adds a new docx file from the default templates, it doesn't work. The main reason is that the template docx has no keywords set in it's metadata, but we observed different behavior when uploading files: if the uploaded docx has no keywords set, it gets overwritten correctly. As a workaround we've tried to modify the default templates keywords to match the settings on the doc library, but we've found no method to do this. Thanks in advance. Levente
Can not add Task List and Issue tracking list to a Modern Site Pages as web part

Modern Sites/Pages limitations - Project Road Blocks.
Evening everyone, I'm looking for some advice on how I can get around some roadblocks i'm hitting with the modern UI. Here's the issues: I need to be able to disable / hide fields on a modern UI form (NewForm.aspx / EditForm.aspx). Previously this would have been done using JS in a SEWP/CEWP. The only solution I have found here is to hide it from the form by customizing the content type (but this hides it from everyone). The newly released powerapps functionality (https://powerapps.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/custom-form-launch/) would have solved this easily but comes with its own quirks that cause issues for the requirements below. Attachments - the Modern form supports adding attachments to items but the powerapps functionality does not - PA only supports read only operations when it comes to attachments (At least for now) which prevents me from using PA to solve issue 1. Multiple notes - Previously I would have dealt with this by simply turning on versioning and "append changes" to a multiline text box. However, when append changes is turned on, the Modern UI changes to a classic form. Powerapps handles it better but only shows the latest addition to the text box - any previous entries are not shown on the PA form but are correctly stored on the list item. These requirements could be met fairly quickly using the classic UI with only a little bit of JS for the field hide / disable part - SharePoint does the other two requirements out of the box with no issue. Any input on how these requirements can be met using powerapps or the modern UI would be appreciated. I'm not against using SPFx Web Parts / Extensions but don't want to create completely custom forms as I feel that goes against everything that was mentioned at ESPC17. Thanks. MIs this a bug? Look up column to External List error - SP2016
Hello folks - I am trying to find out if this is a bug with the product, or an issue with my farm. So, I wanted to reach out to the community to get help on something tested. (SharePoint 2016) Please consider this scenario. I've this tested on both on-premise farms and results are same. Prerequisites: Make sure to have a BCS External Content Type to a SQL database of your choice Make sure to create an External List using this ECT to the said SQL database Steps: Browse to Site Columns on a site collection (Same site collection that external list is on) Create a new site column, select type Lookup - Give a good name that you can remember Select "Get information from: " drop down to the External List you've already created, and select a column Hit "OK" Questions: Do you get an error? If you browse back to Site Columns do you see the column actually created but type is listed as "External Data" ? Please let me know your findings here. Thanks! Ali
