While writing the script to create lists for my solution for SharePoint Online I had to rename Title field in a list. It's not so obviously as just to create a new field.

I used EventCalendar component with resources and timeline view, the default interval is 1 month, I also add week numbers to the header. I wanted to fit the calendar to the page without horizontal scroll.

Many times I told myself not to work with SharePoint, but it's forever with me 🙂
My colleague asked to help him with a problem with modern lists. There some simple fields, without lookups. But there's an error in displaying items. I spent about an hour to determine the problem - created a copy of the list, removed all items, added items with only 1 filled field. It worked in classic view, but not in modern.

Once I tried to make the application to migrate a custom data source from SharePoint 2010 to SharePoint 2019 on-premise. To make it easier, I decided to make to separate solutions – the first one to export the data from SharePoint 2010 from the list to JSON and attachments to local folder(CSOM for SharePoint 2010 sucks) and the utility to import data to SharePoint 2019 via REST.

With SharePoint 2010 you can disable usage of modal windows in List settings. But if you use calendar view, it does not matter what you have installed in the settings – all the list forms will be opened in modal windows. How to disable them?

This post is about SharePoint web services. In SharePoint 2010 you can use only SOAP requests to get or to send data from or to SharePoint web sites. A bit below in this post you can see the list of WSDL URL addresses.

By default, in SharePoint display form the multiline text field is written as a string without html-tags. To display text as the multiline one with HTML-tags, you should modify the default parameters of the XSL expression.

Recently I was looking for the solution about how to add the button to "Save and Stay on page" for SharePoint Edit Form page. I read several articles how to do it, but most of them were no good. But also I found one useful page which became the base for my solution.

Sometimes you need to make some not common things with data in SharePoint site. Today one girl asked me if I can modify date of creation or modification date of a file in document library. Of course, there can be other cases, for example, you need to save creation date information for data in migration process.

I'm trying to remove all permissions from a list item in SharePoint 2010. There was a lot of permissions because of the "Limited access". I couldn't check all items because of the constraint of maximum selected items. This script is 100% compatible with SharePoint 2013 and SharePoint 2016.
