Save list as template on modern team site
Wonder if anyone can advise how I can create a list in a modern sharepoint team site from a template that I saved from a classic team site. I don't see any option from within powershell settings.
...
Definitely a frustrating issue...
I too am trying to migrate a list+data from a SPO "Classic" site to a SPO "ModExp" site.
ATTEMPTS
#1 | Failed - I export the template.stp, and imported into the ModExp site. However, ModExp does not have the "Add App" option to covert the template file into a list like the "Classic" experience did.
#2 FAILED | Used the ModExp create list from existing list. Successfully copied the list structure over from the "classic" site to the "ModExp" site. But the process does not copy the data over-"frustrating".
#3 FAILED | Exported list to Excel. Imported into ModExp site. This brought over the data, but no structure (lose all the multiple choice columns, etc,)
***
MAJOR QUESTIONS
> Seriously, why does ModExp NOT have an option to import the list from the STP template file?
> Why, does the ModExp import list feature NOT have an option to copy over data?
> Why, if neither of the above options are available, why can't we import the list. After the list structure is cloned, have the option to import data from Excel?
