Hi, Recently a new form input system that uses Forms has been deployed for Sharepoint document libraries. This works well, however I was expecting to also have the possibility to disable the standard "upload" button and completely substitute it with the new Form function. This is because I have created a flow that expects some metadata along with the file, to be filled by the user at the time of insertion of the element, and this is not possible to do with the old upload method as a one-shot action. I can circumvent the problem by adding additional checks in my flow, however I think this is suboptimal, as this means it needs to run twice in the best case scenario (first for the upload, then for the metadata update). Is it something I can expect to be implement at some time in the near future?Solved47Views0likes3CommentsPnP 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?11Views0likes0CommentsDelete Version History
Hello Team, I'm looking for help with deleting the version history of specific files in SharePoint, but retaining the last 10 versions. I can see that I can manually delete the version history, but this is going to be a rather long task for this particular file, or i can delete them all which we don't want. I've found powershell commands which will go through all files in a document library but nothing for a specific file. Does anyone have anything which will do this? Thank you.2.4KViews0likes6CommentsSharePoint Online global storage limits
Does anyone know the maximum total storage limit I can have by adding up user licenses that include the SharePoint service? I've looked at the limits page, but it only shows the maximum limit per site, not the total. Another way to ask the question is, what is the maximum storage I can get by increasing it by 10GB for each license I purchase?115Views0likes4Comments- 113Views0likes1Comment
Classic SharePoint list view redirecting to home page
Hello! I have an old Classic SharePoint site that I need to create a new view in a list for. I have created this view but whenever I go to open that view it redirects me to the homepage. This site was build by someone else and I believe this is by design to stop users from using admin only views....but how do I stop this for my new view? I need some users to be able to use it. When I create a personal view it does not do this redirect. Any ideas how I can stop it happening on a public view? Or will I need each of my users who need a new view to set up personal views of their own?Solved109Views0likes1CommentAccessing Page Properties as filter for a List (List Web Part or Embed Web Part, or other)
Hello... I've unsuccessfully scoured the web for an answer to this question, so I apologize if the answer is out there and I just can't get this to work. I have found a number of potential solutions that didn't seem to pan out, so I figured I'd start at the top and see if what I am is possible. Some "simplified" background (capitalized and quoted words refer to Sharepoint content entities) I have a standard set of management tools in the form of "Lists"; Action Items, Risk Management, Deliverables for example. These "Lists" contain the data for all projects in the organization. Each project has its own Sharepoint "Page" on the organization Sharepoint site. Should note these are "Teams" Site/Pages. Objective is to have a template page that can be copied when a new Project is started and limit the amount of manual configuration. Each data "List" has a common key - Project. In each list, the Project is a "Lookup" field that gets its value from a separate Project "List". I didn't want to use a "Choice" field since multiple "Lists" draw from the same set of Projects and thus limiting duplicative adding of projects when a new Project starts. What I want to do is include each "List" on a Project specific "Page" and since the lists contain data for all Projects I want to filter the list based on the Project field in the list. If I add the "List" as a "List Web Part", the only filtering capability is "Dynamic Filtering" which connects a filter field to something selected in another library or list on the page. With the "List Web Part" it seems the only solution is to have a "List View" preconfigured in the "List" specific for each Project and then the "View" can be selected in the "List Web Part" settings. This solution, although it works, is not ideal since for each new program we would have to create a new "View" in each "List" for the new Project and, after copying the template "Page" edit the "View" field of every list on the page. What I would like to do is key the filtering of the "Lists" based on the active Project "Page". I have added a Project field to the "Page Properties" and set the field to the Project name that is in the Project list to potentially use as the filter key value in filtering the "Lists". But I can't figure out how to make use of the "Page Property" in any of the web parts, whether trying to leverage json in some circumstances, or other potential solutions. I have tried various things using the "List" view formatting. The "View" filtering capability doesn't let you filter based on a "Lookup" field, but even if I did, I would still have to figure out how to reference the "Page" property that identifies the Project. I think the closest I have come is trying to use the "</> Embed Web Part". I can add this web part and set the website address to "https://....../Lists/AIList/AllItems.aspx?FilterField1=Project&FilterValue1=ProjectA" and it will populate the web part with the list filtered to only show the items associated with ProjectA. But what I want is to set the FilterValue1 to the Project "Page Property". I have seen references to page properties in various posts using @{Page.Project} (for example) or [$Page.Project] or perhaps other forms for various purposes, none of which have worked either in this "Embed Web Part" or attempts I have made in other potential solutions using json to try to control what is displayed. Sorry for the long post, but if anyone knows a way to achieve the desired effect it would be very much appreciated.43Views0likes0CommentsChange in SharePoint File Selection Behaviour
Has anyone noticed this in the last week/s? Basically before, you used to be able to SELECT files without opening them. Now, 5-6 times out of ten, if I try to select a document or folder it opens instead. Like, even when i am clearly clicking the checkmark to the left of the file/folder, it will STILL OPEN in the browser, rather than just selecting. It's like the file open behaviour has gotten more sensitive or something? It's really frustrating because my users need to add metadata to documents by selecting them, and now they have to fight with SharePoint nearly every time.56Views1like0CommentsActive Site Usage Not Matching Storage Used?
At my new position our SharePoint storage is getting used quickly. As of right now we have 69GB available of 11.75TB. When look at the active sites the total Storage Used only adds up to 2TB. Where is the other 8.75TB coming from? Version history was changed to 100 major versions and to delete versions after 1 year. Is it possible that the versions still being retained could add up to 8.75TB? I archived a site that was 13GB but it's still showing 69GB available. How long does it take to reclaim that storage?28Views0likes0Comments
