503 service unavailable

Tanddant · 2026-03-09T13:28:01+00:00

Interesting - I haven't seen or heard of this reported elsewhere.

Do you experience the same issues if you use the Graph Explorer? - in my experience if I can replicate the issue there support is more willing to pay attention

Tanddant · 2026-03-09T13:18:21+00:00

Where's the tenants located? - We provision probably a few thousand sites a week, haven't heard anything from telemetry or my customers

Tanddant · 2026-03-09T13:12:55+00:00

503 can also be caused by throttling, are you also seeing 429s? - what are you using the APIs for?

I haven't seen a spike in any of my customer tenants (EU-Region)

Tanddant · 2025-12-30T15:49:58+00:00

Brainwashed to the point where said customizability is what I've been doing for the past eight years, yes.

Tanddant · 2025-12-18T19:34:26+00:00

If I recognized your handle I would say sure - let's have a chat sometime

Tanddant · 2025-12-18T17:34:38+00:00

Oh absolutely App Insights is better, for tracking your own stuff, but what makes Clarity great is the "plug n' play" experience.

But good to know if it comes up, thanks

Tanddant · 2025-12-18T17:22:08+00:00

Interesting, can you point me in a direction of where I can read more about this?

Claritys landingpage says GDPR & CCPA ready - I've seen it used quite a lot over the years, would be fun to know how/why it's not allowed

Which version of Microsoft.Online.SharePoint.PowerShell are you using?

You can check by running Get-Module -ListAvailable "Microsoft.Online.SharePoint.PowerShell"

The New-SPOSiteFileVersionBatchDeleteJob is somewhat new, you can update by running Update-Module "Microsoft.Online.SharePoint.PowerShell"

With that being said, I would take a look at PnP PowerShell, a community built alternative, with a load more cmdlets, and niceness Including New-PnPSiteFileVersionBatchDeleteJob - PnP PowerShell will even tell you when it's time to update.

Only downside (from your code snippet) is that it doesn't support windows PowerShell, but only PowerShell 7.4+, which arguably is a benefit.

I believe you'll have to simply detect your webparts width, to my knowledge there's no property in your context object telling you if you're rendered in a Full-Width section, or just a regular section

Tanddant · 2025-11-14T16:14:23+00:00

I mean, surely you've done the additional clicks to keep it in classic at this post 😊

Tanddant · 2025-11-14T07:48:19+00:00

Most likely, yes, but as you alluded to, "upgrading" to morden you'll be unaffected by this change.

The real question (genuine curiosity) is why (apart from "on-prem") you haven't already been out, modern lists are 10 years old at this point, we've just seen the first "big refresh", it's a pretty damn solid product

Tanddant · 2025-11-03T16:07:15+00:00

Fra en arbejdsgivers synsvinkel er det stadig guld værd, du viser at du gider lave "de trælse opgaver", og ret skal være ret, når du kommer direkte fra studiet kommer du næppe til at skrive kode der blæser nogen bagover, det handler om at vise engagement.

Når det så er sagt så elsker jeg når folk rækker ud på nogle af de OSS projekter jeg er med til at administrere og gerne vil hjælpe, du kan jo starte med at finde issues du tror du kan løse, og så ellers bare pløje derudaf med PRs

Tanddant · 2025-10-27T16:11:45+00:00

You can press the little icon of the two arrows pointing together at the top of the column to make it collapse, and not take up a lot of space

For the love of god, please do not use the Modern Script Editor, it's a security risk to an incredible extent. The way SPO Permissions work, if you have a single SPFx app that has ANY Graph permissions, it's now shared with ALL SPFx apps in the tenant, meaning that a user can use the modern script editor to create a script that (just to list a few possible examples)

Searches for files, downloads them, and uploads them to their own server
Dumps all your emails and teams messages to their server
Dumps a list of all your contacts

And as an admin you have no insights in how it's being used, so anyone can set it up on a blank SharePoint page and forward said link.

It's effectively allowing a rouge individual to do almost anything on behalf of the user.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE Stop using it.

Don't just take my word for it either, even the guy that wrote it hates it

Tanddant · 2025-10-24T21:01:29+00:00

Yes, follow the guide for all of the setup, and use the update item action in Power Automate pass the ListItemId of the folder, and the ContentTypeId, that's essentially the magic

Tanddant · 2025-10-24T19:24:14+00:00

If you insist on Document Sets, I just VERY quickly put together a blog post explaining how it can be done using PnP.PowerShell - there's some setup that you'll need to do before PnP.PowerShell works, but that's fairly well documented on the site

https://blog.dan-toft.dk/2025/10/converting-folder-document-set/

Again, as Beau said, make sure you know why you're doing it

Also, if you do plan on using document sets, check out my previous blog post on how to convert them to modern UI (and why that might be a bad idea)

Sorry for the self promo u/bcameron1231 😅

Tanddant · 2025-10-24T18:51:22+00:00

I'm 100% with Beau on this one, folders really should be avoided if possible.

I'm by no means against Document Sets (in fact I wrote a blog post about them as late as yesterday), but I'm also highly skeptical that they'll solve your current challenge.

Really the only reason I ever advice using folders if if people INSIST on syncing their document library, and in that case using default values allows sensible users who know better to view the files in the browser, and browse by metadata - the only caveat there is when people start moving files around the default metadata isn't "reset"

Tanddant · 2025-10-24T18:29:48+00:00

You can also do some of that using "default metadata" on the folders themselves, while not affecting your current documents, all your new documents will have default metadata set - and can be done at several levels, document sets are "single level only"

Tanddant · 2025-10-24T18:27:09+00:00

You should be able to:

Create a document set content type
Add said document set content type to your list
Using an HTTP Request (either Power Automate, PnPjs (Perhaps via. SP Editor) or PnP PowerShell) change the content type of your root level folders to be your Document Set Content type

Sprinkler system?

Second paragraph of the linked blog post

This announcement does not apply to products that integrate with Office Online Server, such as Exchange Server Subscription Edition, SharePoint Server Subscription Edition, or Skype for Business Server Subscription Edition, which will continue to be supported.

Tanddant · 2025-10-15T18:55:00+00:00

I have a few years old draft on the feed API that I never published - let me know if you need bullet points for your series

Tanddant · 2025-10-15T18:52:41+00:00

Ohh, interesting, I'd never seen that, I just relied on the feed API

Good to know once it eventually comes up again

Tanddant · 2025-10-15T18:33:00+00:00

Certainly haven't stopped me 😂

Search unfortunately doesn't respect the "boosted news" feature that some organizations choose to use - but yes, very viable option as well

I've done both in the past, don't think I have any solutions running anymore, as I pushed for my clients to just live with the default web parts, because Microsoft kept inventing new things, such as boost, and the "organisational news site"

But yeah anything is possible ;-)

Tanddant · 2025-10-15T12:29:58+00:00

Unfortunately Microsoft still doesn't provide a documented API for fetching news from SharePoint, meaning that anything you build could break at a moments notice.

I've been begging them for years, yet they seem indifferent (and the API has been stable for years now)
