ListId (GUID) as output value
When a Flow is e.g triggered when an item is changed or created the ListId (GUID) of the list is an input value but not available as output value.
It's only somehow part of the {Link} property...Please make the ListId available as own output value. The ListId is a required property for API calls as sometimes the list displayname and sometimes the technical name needs to be used. With the ListId it's generic...

Connector idea: Update item (but ONLY certain selected columns)
Currently the "Update Item" connector presents all columns it can find in the target Sharepoint list. Not only is this a lot of clutter, but it also has an issue where certain columns are auto-populated with their default values. What I envision is a new connector that would allow you to select the site and list like normal, as well as the normal field for the "ID" of the item, but from their down it would allow the user of the connector to add a new column value to update, let them select the column, then let them provide a…

Create an Option Under "Integrate" on Microsoft Lists to Create a Microsoft Form directly connected to it.
Google Sheets has a feature to create a simple form based on the sheet, Smartsheet has the same. Right now, Microsoft Forms automatically creates an excel document, but it doesn't have a feature to directly connect to a Microsoft List without the use of PowerAutomate. If we could have a direct connection, we could have more citizen developers that aren't technical enough to use Power Apps create their own lists and forms and keep them updated.

Forms Points for correct answer are not available as dynamic content in Power Automate.
I am using the 'Track Microsoft Forms responses in an Excel Online (Business) spreadsheet' template to keep a spreadsheet in SharePoint up-to-date for a student test however Forms Points for for the correct answer to a question are not available as dynamic content in Power Automate.
Here is a link from a Microsoft agent describing the issue and stating that they couldn't see the field anywhere either and that it appeared to be an issue:
Please could you add this functionality as soon as possible as it is really useful while students are not able to come…

Add metadata to a Flow enhance "My Flows" view in Power Automate
I would like to add metadata to Power Automate "My Flows" so I can group them on.
i.e. standard metadata:
Sitename: multiple flows per site is good practice
Type of flow: running on a single site or running on multiple sites
Expiring within X days
etc.
If you provide the option for metadata, companies can add the columns themselves

Allow .msg files / emails to be attached in MS Forms
As a company we attach emails as a form of 'back-up' to requests we receive.
For instance, someone will raise a form to get a new drawing created, they will attach an email which contains data from our Customer, telling us what they want.
This is currently done via email because of the limitations in MS Forms.1 vote -

SharePoint 2013 Workflows disappeared from SP Designer and Multiple Site Collections
Workflows were gone from SP Designer and all sites. 2010 workflows were still present but deprecated as expected. Issue appeared to have started around 11/15 but was not discovered until 12/2, all workflows had not been running during that time and appeared to be deleted off of all sites. Workflows were not in recycle bin. Workflows suddenly reappeared in Designer and sites 12/3 after issue was reported to Microsoft Support.

SharePoint Online - Remember other people's calendars
In SPO, allow for viewing and saving a members calendar in the group calendar function. No option to add person(s) permanently to a calendar view/scope. Defeats the purpose of group calendars on a collaboration website

Include all text HTML formatting and screenshots when creating list items (on-premises SP did/does this using announcement app)
I have used SharePoint on premises for more than 10 year (2010, 2013 and 2016). In all cases, I could use the Announcement app (email enabled) to FWD emails in with Screenshots and all the text , pics and formatting was there in the item. This was a quick way to create tickets, create newsletters and add Knowledge base items. Handy and valuable. In SP online, this functionality is gone. I can create list items from email but when you view the item, all the screenshots are gone. If we want to create a knowledgebase, we have to create the…

Access to Check In/Out from OneDrive Sharepoint Shortcut on Desktop
When working from a desktop OneDrive folder coming from a Sharepoint shortcut on OnDrive, it will be really useful to be able to Check In and Check Out directly from the Desktop via a simple OS Right Click (like for Free space…).
With a Check Out option and perhaps a Preference on OnDrive to auto Check Out any file opened from a Sharepoint shortcut folder and auto Check In when closing it.1 vote -
Allow running Power Automate Flow while searching in list/library
We can run a Power Automate Flow by selecting item in list/library. This functionality works well while filtering or sorting the list.
But when I am searching within a list and selecting the list item from search results, all the "Automate" options are missing (both from command bar and item edit menu - ellipses).
Please allow running Power Automate Flow while searching in list/library

Pull attachments from Form submission
I would like the idea to pull the attachments submitted via forms, so that I can direct them to specific folders in a document library. The form answers would also allow for column data to be filled.

I want to share a DRAFT of my text with the 'owner' of the text in the editorial process of editing it - i.e. before approval & publication
In the editorial process of developing and writing a news article or a page text on VELUX One, it would be more effective if I could share the text (ping-pong) with the 'owner' of the text directly in the VELUX One modern SharePoint template (possibly even with track changes) -
instead of first creating it in a word document, trying to copy the template into the word document so that the 'owner' can see how the text is going to be displayed and send it by mail to the owner for comments.
Usually, that process takes some editions to/from each…1 vote -
