Support SharePoint 2016/2019 with .NET Standard APIs
While the SharePoint online version is supported, we would like to see the SharePoint on-prem versions (SharePoint 2016/2019) supported with .NET standard CSOM APIs.
https://sharepoint.uservoice.com/forums/329220-sharepoint-dev-platform/suggestions/16585795-support-net-core-with-csom
^ this only allows for SharePoint Online .NET Standard CSOM support.Many customers have significant investments and longer term roadmaps to get to SharePoint Online, but in the interim would like to start developing solutions that can be more easily converted to work in SharePoint Online along with being able to leverage the latest version of the Microsoft technology stack - that is growing the skillsets / toolset familiarity without waiting for longer term plans…
429 votesWe are potentially looking to do this for the next SharePoint on-premises version, but not for SharePoint 2016 or 2019.
More information on this as the vNext version is released.

Improved API feedback around throttling
Currently working with the API's for drive, graph, sharepoint are very difficult due to the throttling that can be encountered.
Each api offers different guidance to avoid throttling. Example are:
1) use a special user-agent header
2) respect the retry-after headerSpeaking with microsoft representatives they instruct us to perform major api processing in off peak hours. Additionally tenant's can have hard locks placed on them.
This request is to get better information around tenant usage returned in the API's.
1) If a tenant is hard locked, tell us in a distinct message so that don't just hammer the requests…

Enable ListItem SystemUpdate via REST
Allow REST clients to update list items a la SystemUpdate. That is, REST clients should be able to update list item metadata without creating a new version and without affecting system columns like authors and timestamps. The same idea for CSOM was recently implemented and I'm puzzled why the REST API is always left behind.
The CSOM idea:

Provide the AddToCurrentScopeOnly in the RoleAssignment class for JSOM and CSOM
The SharePoint "fine grain permissions" best practices document recommends using this method as a way to help prevent performance penalties when unique permissions are applied. However, we need this capability in JSOM and CSOM since AddToCurrentScopeOnly is currently only available for use on-premises using the server-side object model.

In Place Records Management: Provide a property that would expose manual record declaration availability in CSOM / REST
1) Hopefully the feature InPlaceRecords (da2e115b-07e4-49d9-bb2c-35e93bb9fca9) shows up in the list of web features when it is activated.
2) Expose a property that would specify the setting selected by the user in the Library Record Declaration Settings.
a. Manual Record Declaration Availability
b. Automatic Declaration3) Or - It would be great to have another property called "CanDeclareAsRecord" on this class:
public class Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.RecordsRepository.Records
Currently, it only provides a check if item is already an existing record. However, there is no method that says if a currently undeclared item can be declared.42 votes -
Provide ListItem.SystemUpdate also for SharePoint on-premises
Please provide the SystemUpdate function via CSOM not only for SPO but also for on-premises at minimum for SharePoint 2016 (2013 would also be nice ;-))

Create UserProfile Properties programmatically in SPO
Currently there is no API available to create custom UserProfile properties (and/or sections) in SharePoint Online. Are there any plans (to make this part of the Tenant administration namespace so) this can also be set via code/script as opposed to GUI only?

AAD app-only access site permission control
As described in this doc: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/dev/solution-guidance/security-apponly-azuread
When granted All Site Full Control permission, the application would be able to access all sites in my organization. But can we grant permissions to specific sites? In other words, can we restrict the sites the application can access? If we can, how to do this?32 votes -
Expose NavigationNode.TitleResource in CSOM & JSOM
You can already localize using SetValueForUICulture() for TitleResource or NameResource and DescriptionResource properties of Web, List, ContentType, and Field. What is missing is the ability to do this for NavigationNode and maybe CommandUIExtension to make localization complete.

Make Localization accessible for QuickLaunch NavigationNode and WebPart titles
Hi all,
It would be really nice to add more support for localization in CSOM for SharePoint on-prem and online.
In server side object model, it possible to localize NavigationNode (SPNavigationNode) using the TitleResource property like this:
using (var site = new SPSite("<a rel="nofollow noreferrer" href="https://UrlToMySharePointSite")">https://UrlToMySharePointSite")</a>)
{
using (var web = site.OpenWeb())
{
var nodes = web.Navigation.QuickLaunch;
foreach (SPNavigationNode node in nodes)
{
node.TitleResource.SetValueForUICulture(new CultureInfo(1036), "My French Title");
}
}
}Same for WebPart Title. I've found a way to do this but don't have tested it (I tested it for NavigationNode but doesn't work) : http://sadomovalex.blogspot.ch/2015/09/localize-web-part-titles-via-client.html
As we have…

Listing SharePoint Site Collection URLs in a Web App should have a special permission to avoid giving too much admin access
Listing site collection URLs in a web app should be a special permission by itself. Many times you end up giving full admin rights to a user just because you need that ability. And this forces you to violate the principal of Least Permissions.
Make the ability to give access to list site collections without being a full admin.

Add support in CSOM to modify the CustomScriptSafeDomains settings for a site
Support was added in March 2018 to read the CustomScriptSafeDomains settings for a site - we'd like the possibility to modify this setting through the CSOM API - not methods are currently available to modify this settings through code.

Parameter for passing specific Site Design in Modern Team site Creation
While creating the Modern communication site programmatically through Rest API/ Graph API there is a parameter available to choose the site design.
Title = "title
Description = "description
AllowFileSharingForGuestUsers = false
Classification = "classification"
SiteDesign = CommunicationSiteDesign.TopicBut while creating the modern team site programmatically there is no option to choose the Site Design, by default it is picking up the default Site Design. Even though we can create multiple site script and site design for Teams site, we are not able to specify a site design at the time of provisioning the Group.
Is there any possibility to choose…18 votes -
