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.
...
- Save the list as a template in the source site
- Go to the site "list templates" by going to [your site's URL]_catalogs/lt/Forms/AllItems.aspx
- Upload the template
- Go to Site Contents
- Add > App
- Select your template
Here is an option to get the "List templates" link show in the "Web Designer Galleries" of Site Settings in a modern site, but you can go around that with the URL I gave you.
You should better use Site Scripts / Site Designs to replicate your list or even PnP. In general, avoid to use the legacy Save as template option
- Fine, but sometimes we need to get something done, and the time to learn a library or a whole new framework is just not there!
- Actually learning how to use Site Scripts and Site Design is quite straightforward…with the new way to create a Site Script from a list that is coming to SPO and the new Site Designs Panel you could get all what you need: https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/blogs/site-scripts-site-designs-fall-2018-update/
One of the beautiful things about SharePoint used to be that anyone could be handed a site (or site collection) to admin and do nearly everything via the UI. Now you have to script site, list and library templates. Maybe we can advance it to DOS compatibility too so we can run batch files and make SP Admins feel more important.
