Will Modern Pages ever allow "Web Part Connections" (to link related lists)? How about "Filters"?
One of the most powerful and, frankly, underused features in SharePoint (2010 and 2013) was the concept or practice of "connecting" related web parts. We used it ALL the time for things like: A list of Vendors connected to lists of Quotes or Invoices A list of Requests connected to a list of related Log Entries (each step in the request process generates a Log entry) Also, it was helpful for creating "template" pages. For example, we would have a Query String Filter that connected to a bunch of lists on the page, each of which had a common column (e.g.: "Term"). So, when creating a course catalog, we didn't have to build a new page for each term, just use that template page with the right query string in the URL. As slick as the Modern Page experience looks and feels, it seems like they're driving toward the model of creating tons of separate pages rather than a few reusable ones. While creating these pages is easier in the Modern Experience, enforcing consistency between them is pretty much impossible (that's where the idea of a template page really shone). So, since I can't find any chatter about these features/functions whatsoever, I figured I'd ask here to see if anyone else had seen or heard anything. Heck, maybe even someone from the mothership (calling Mark-Kashman or Jeff_Teper) could chime in and let me know if I should just give up hope on ever using Connections or Filter web parts on Modern Pages.
List Web Part Expand/Collapse View Broken on Modern Site Page
When attempting to display a list view on a SharePoint Online Modern Site Page for FAQ questions and answers the Answer field (multiple lines of text) is not displaying the values. In the examples below all question and answer fields have values and should display. In the actual list itself the same view shows both the Answer and Question values just as expected. Answer Field = Required (List Web Part) When I have the Answer field set as required (no matter if it is Plain, Rich, or Enhanced Rich text) it shows that required info is missing even though all the Answer fields have values in them. Using the List View Web Part I see the following: If I click the heading, "Question: Question #1 here? (1)" in the list view web part I then see the value for the Answer: Answer Field = Not Required (List Web Part) When I have the Answer field set as not required (no matter if it is Plain, Rich, or Enhanced Rich text) it shows no value even though all the Answer fields have values in them. Using the List View Web Part I see the following: If I click the heading, "Question: Question #1 here? (1)" in the list view web part I then see the value for the Answer:
How to disable Advanced web parts?
Hi all, in Teams I can disable all the apps I don't want my users to use. But is this possible in SharePoint as well? For example in the web part overview I find a lot of third party stuff I only found something for three of the web parts using powershell and the web part ID but this is not working for all of the 3rd party web parts. Thanks alot for some hints 🙂
Column Formatting in List View Web Part
I have created a Site Page, where I added a List View Web Part with reference to a list which has JSON-conditional formatting in it. For myself the conditional formatting works (doesn't exactly looks the same but hey, at least I see the colors.), but other coworkers don't see the formatting at all. Those coworkers have the same (or even higher) permissions to the site page and the lists themself, so rights should not be the issue. Does this feature for you guys work and if yes, whats your setup (rights) etc. If my coworkers go to the list them self they see the formatting.
Can't remove canceled meetings from group calendar
I have created a new group SP site via teams. On the home page, I have the group calendar web part displayed. I have entered a couple of meetings and cancelled them to test. In the calendar the meetings have been cancelled and are no longer showing. On the web part however, it shows all the cancelled meetings. How do I remove these from the web part?Excel Web Access web part won't refresh
I am trying to put live/refreshable Excel charts on a SharePoint Online web page using the Excel Web Access web part. I have made 3 different Excel files using different methods for creating the connection between the custom SP list and the Excel file. The Excel files are stored in a Document library on the same site as the custom list and the web part page. In each case I am unable to realize a live data connection between the chart and the underlying list data. https://www.tonyishere.co.uk/how-to-show-sharepoint-list-data-in-a-pivot-table/. However, when I update the underlying list data the change is not reflected in the pie chart I have on the web page. When I tried to refresh the connection using the "Refresh Selected Connection" from the web part tool bar menu, the page flashes but the webpart does not update. If I use "Refresh All Connection" I get the error message "External Data Refresh Failed, unable to refresh one or more data connections. If I open the Excel file and Refresh the data from there, then save and close the file then refresh the browser, the change is reflected in the webpart. This isn't a practical solution however. I'm hoping someone can advise me. I see plenty example online of this working; I just can't get it to work for me.Tasks not showing in Planner Web Part
I have a Sharepoint Online site that's attached to a team. I added the Planner web part to the page in task view, and although the task buckets show up, they are empty. None of the many tasks are displaying. The following error appears: We couldn't load your plan. Please try again later. It's been ongoing for over a week now. I've removed the part, I've added it back in several times. I've not found this with other Team sites yet. Does anyone know of a work around here? Is there a site setting somewhere that's causing this issue?
