Document Sets - Want Subfolders (not just files) to inherit metadata
Trying to get subfolders (the actual subfolder) in a document set to inherit metadata. We have files and files in subfolders inheriting correctly but currently subfolders in the set do not inherit data. We are using the metadata column for view filter between active/pending/completed job status. What happens is the subfolders don't show in the filtered view so you cant traverse the subfolder structure. Show flat structure is not suitable as its hundreds of files. The shared columns settings in library settings, says it syncs for all 'documents' in the set. This excludes folders. Have tried power automate, but it doesn't seem to work applying the metadata to a folder object. We need to able to change a document set from Active > Pending and all the metadata change. Any ideas on how we can get the subfolders in inherit (and update) the metadata of the document set. Thanks in advance.
Bulk link updates
First off, apologies if this is in the wrong community. All files are held in the same sharepoint library. So in the library there is an excel file which gets updated a couple of times a year and lets say 20 word fiiles containing roughly 5 links per file referencing 4 ranges in the excel file. These word documents are also updated several times a year. When either the excel documented if updated a new file if generated with a new name which replaces the old one and the old one is archived. The word documents are simply edited and renamed with the old one being archived. I'm looking for a way to update the links in the word documents to pick up the same ranges in the new spreadsheet. As it currently stands I need to manually update each link which is time consuming, prone to error and stupid :-) anyone come across this need and if so how did you solve it? thanks in advance
Calander Pop-up Clipped Vertically
My SharePoint calendar pop-up is being clipped vertically and only displaying 4 days per week in the date picker. I created a new date column and the issue still persists. I tested in both Edge and Chrome with the browser zoom set to 100%, and the problem does not change when zooming in or out. Has anyone experienced this issue before or found a fix?

Does anybody know if this is by decision or bug..? I created a SharePoint list for inventory and created 2 folders for private items (unique permissions on folders) to hide list items at certain times of the year. I tried to move them back OUT of the folder to the root of the list, but it does not allow me to do so. See screenshot on the bottom shows Move Here button is disabled on root of list.. attached is screenshot only when in folders.. My workaround would be to create another folder called public and inherit permissions from a list, set all views to show No Folders and move from private to public, but thought I 'should' be able to move back out to root of list...
Searching on SharePoint Image Gallery only using 'Image Tags'
Hi Our company has an image gallery on Share Point which needs to be user-friendly and efficient. Since we deal with a large volume of images, we are searching for the most effective solution to easily locate the images we need. Although I attempted to use the "Image Tags" column to tag the images, a keyword search on Share Point displays not only tags but also other files and folders containing the word. Is there a specific command or search bar option to view only "Image Tags" keywords? Could you suggest a solution? Thank you!
Metadata for SP library
Want to get rid of folders within libraries. Issue, to sort them with columns every time people have to go into details or edit in grid view to fill them in. How can I create something that's easier for users to enter in the metadata? Goal is setup filters for finding their documents.OneDrive site locked NoAccess for 1 month - Ticket #2605040040008376 - No resolution
I have an open Microsoft support ticket for over 1 month with no resolution. Hoping the community or a Microsoft engineer can help. SITUATION: A departed user (deleted over a year ago) had a OneDrive site that was accessible to other users until recently. Since then the site is completely inaccessible to everyone including admins. Current Status: Active LockState: NoAccess WHAT WE TRIED: - Set-SPOSite -LockState Unlock → command succeeds but site stays blocked - Set-SPOUser -IsSiteCollectionAdmin $true → fails with "Access to this Web site has been blocked" - User does not exist in Entra ID, Deleted Users, or Deleted Sites ROOT CAUSE IDENTIFIED: Site was under a 5-year retention policy in Microsoft Purview. Policy showed error "SiteInReadonlyOrNotAccessible" for this OneDrive. We removed the OneDrive from the policy exceptions but the site remains locked. This appears to be a deadlock: - Site is locked so retention policy cannot detach - Retention policy prevents site from being unlocked No eDiscovery holds found on the site. Microsoft support has been unable to resolve this for 1 month. Does anyone know how to break this deadlock?
Column Visibility based on previous people column
We've setup persistent approvals for travel requests using a Power Automate flow (not the built-in workflow), so the approved status is not lost if/when the list item is edited. We have a choice column for Approval Request allowing "Draft" and "Submitted". Just need a control to prevent saving the list item as "Submitted" if there is no selection in the Approver (people) column. As you know, we can't use a people column to evaluate conditional visibility on the list form... https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/dev/declarative-customization/list-form-conditional-show-hide And we've tried JSON formatting with a 'helper' column to show if an approver has been assigned or not: { "$schema": "https://developer.microsoft.com/json-schemas/sp/v2/column-formatting.schema.json", "elmType": "div", "txtContent": "=if(length([$Approver]) > 0, 'Assigned', 'Unassigned')" } But this doesn't set a value in the column so cannot be used for list validation settings. To reduce complexity, we're trying to do this without using a Power Apps form and conditional visibility... but maybe it's not possible? Already found this help redirecting to Power Apps... https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/discussions/sharepoint_general/column-visibility-based-on-previous-multi-choice-column/3987360 Any alternative suggestions are welcomed. Thanks!
SharePoint - Filter stacking
SharePoint list with a Link to Documents (hyperlink) column. When you click the link, it should open to the library where these documents are stored based on the associated ID for the record with all the documents that have that "Document ID", in this case 5550. /AllItems.aspx?FilterField1=ABC_ID&FilterValue1=5550&FilterType1=Text This field is a Hyperlink field The item opens in the library where the documents are all being stored, but is showing an additional filter value (sometimes, it will show three additional values) for example, it will show 5550, 5596, 2208 (all random each time). Is it caching old searched filters? When I go to the library and clear all filters and then filter from the All documents on the 5550, I get all my documents back no problem. I compared the URL with the broken filter to the URL from the all documents filter and they are the exact same Why would this be happening? What is breaking the filter and adding or stacking additional filters to the requested link. Any help to fix this would be appreciated.
