o365 Group mailboxes sharing personal emails
We currently have a o365 project team setup and would like to utilise the group to store emails to our personal addresses to a project folder or group so all users of that group can see and search the email trail. So I've been drag dropping personal emails from my inbox to the group folders and all can see. But I don't think it was designed for this and I'm encountering many problems. Searching these group stored emails seems much more hit and miss and we seem to be losing and finding it very difficult to trace and fins emails stored this way. It also turns the email into a message style chat limiting our options and currently in my case crashing every time I reply using this. I presume we should be doing this in reverse and having communications email through our group email address then forwarded to our personal emails but this just isn't the way we communicate with out clients and collaborators. I feel I'm overlooking some methodology here and there is a simple solution or correct way or working. Can anyone help?Re: o365 group default settings "Let people outside of the organisation email the group"
Yes I've used the powershell cmdlet Set-UnifiedGroup -RequireSenderAuthenticationEnabled $false to apply this to all current sites. But I've setup site designs studio to automate the deployment of sites. I can create a script to load with the new site creation but I havent found reference to a json schema that does the same and excuse my profound ignorance but I presume I can't just use the cmdlet -RequireSenderAuthenticationEnabled $false in the json like below { "verb": "RequireSenderAuthenticationEnabled", "capability": "False" }Uniqueness based within another column choice
Hi, have a unique problem, Column A Number column which needs a unique 4 digit number. Column B Choice column with multiple choices. X, Y, Z There are 4 X, 3 Y and 2 Z. items in the library all the X items need column A values to be unique to other X items all the Y items need to be unique to each other I guess i need a simple validation to check column A uniqueness with other similar column B values. and return invalid if not the case. Am I correct in thinking this is possible, I've not tried validation before and not aware of the code required.A global list accessible by all sites on tenant?
Hi all. Have a question as I'm getting deeper into sharepoint's usability. We have independent sites for each of our projects. We're architects and have a bunch of them. We also have a bunch of collaborators on projects. Complied into a list of companies lead contacts etc. Now I was told at the beginning when setting up my site that having sub-sites was philosophically not the way you should go. Originally I had a Office main site and project sub sites! We scrapped that for a completely flat "Modern" structure and would use hubs if required in the future. Now I would like to create lists within the project sites containing some of those collaborators and contacts we have external to our organisation. I thought I'd be able to create a list lookup column that references another sites "Site Column". But because of our flat structure we can't access another sites site columns. How do I work around this? I presume there's a new modern approach to this or hubs based approach but I can't find anything about this. Maybe I'm getting too far into CRM territory and approaching this with the wrong tools. Any advice appreciated.Making a Library appear in quick launch via site scripts json
Hi all, I'm creating libraries using site scripts but can't make them automatically appear in the quick launch and am having to manually go to the library settings and toggle the "appear in quick launch " option there. What json do I need to add to enable this?Changing a list or library Header/column size
I have a frustrating problem with our libraries. The views are too wide to see clearly all the info on a standard screen. Example As you can see many of the fields are just two characters. What are my options ? I wish I could turn the column header text vertically. Reduce the size so the deader text is partially obscured on render. I've been playing with view and column formatting but so far can't manage to reduce those columns. Any clues out there?Re: Sharepoint development framework environment setup. Yeoman crashing, install warnings
I'd uninstall to be sure. But I'm not sure if it's necessary. NPM in theory handles all these versions and which projects use which. I had issues because there was no initial file created to store this info in my NPM. Google NPM beginners guide to understand more. I'm all very new to this so I might be corrected.Re: Sharepoint development framework environment setup. Yeoman crashing, install warnings
Thanks waldek I've got it working on another machine. I'll completely refresh my main one at another time but all those warnings were fine FYI. Yo ran smoothly with a freshly install node v10 via NVM Thanks for the helpRe: Sharepoint development framework environment setup. Yeoman crashing, install warnings
waldek Thanks. I've uninstalled and deleted all modules and node. Re-installed a 10.x version a gulp and yo with the same warnings. Running into the exact same problems! I had used nvm from powershell galleries to previously install node but have since removed. Maybe there's relics of that but I can't find them if there are.Re: Sharepoint development framework environment setup. Yeoman crashing, install warnings

Following the guide https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/dev/spfx/set-up-your-development-environment made sure of all the prerequisites but as I follow the steps I get multiple warnings to do with depreciated packages. I've installed node 10.23.2 and checked the version using node -v. When I try to run yo it crashes like below and powershell becomes unresponsive. I'd really appreciate any pointers as to what I'm doing wrong and a route out of this.

I have a Created a number of columns for a library I have that are to be populated with metadata pertaining the files within. I wish to use this setup for multiple libraries across various sites on sharepoint. They are all modern 0365 sites. I'm told that Modern sites can't create or use library templates. (It took 3 months and many hours of problem tracing before microsoft said actually this feature isn't available and it's not a problem with your site) So what's the correct way to do what I'm attempting? I just want to create libraries with the same metadata fields and view settings. Manually doing this for every library seems to defeat the purpose of digitization. So I'm sure there must be something I'm missing in my approach to the problem. Any clues?Re: o365 Group mailboxes sharing personal emails
I definitely like the idea of migrating to teams chat and for certain projects that might work but insisting that all collaborators use teams for communications is just not viable. A lot of emails will be to new contacts. We're a small architecture firm so many parties are involved. Including the group email in correspondence is also a good idea but again, we can't make it a policy for external collaborators to cc in the project email really. So any correspondence that doesn't have that address in it will need to be moved over and we have the same issue.
