  1. Provide CSOM and REST API for recurring calendar events

    There is no obvious way to get details about a recurring calendar events through the CSOM or REST API.

    When querying a calendar list only one item is returned for the calendar recurrence item. Only one field identifies this is a recurring item. the fOccurrence field is a boolean field.

    When using the server side object model, properties are available to expand recurring calendar events to get the individual recurring items.

    The only way to do this for client applications is to go back to using list.asmx which is not great and I'm not sure how long this will be…

  3. When creating an SPFx Extension for a custom header, provide a configurable property that allows the composite header to be hidden

    When developing a SharePoint Framework Extension to display a custom header and/or footer, the SharePoint Composite Header can be very redundant to the custom header.

    The Composite Header (css classname is 'ms-compositeHeader'), is what SharePoint provide out of the box and includes the square site logo, site name and navigation.

    When creating your own custom header that includes all of these things and possibly more, the existence of the Composite Header is redundant and can be confusing for users...(Ex: redundant navigation).

    While CSS can be used to hide this, such a technique is not playing within the rules of only…

  6. Allow publishing of content type hub content types via CSOM

    You cannot currently use CSOM to publish content types in a content type hub in O365. Right now you must imitate the page post back to do it.

    Thanks for your feedback! We’re reviewing your suggestion. We are looking into closely on the input from the community around this and more specifically around the needed scenarios for the placeholders so that we could also potentially provide also specific customizers based on your requests – rather than just having an empty placeholder. Stay tuned!

  9. Add support of SharePoint Framework solution packages to the AppSource Store

    The latest adjustments in the Microsoft Store police allows store's add-in to works with conjunction with another add-in that is available only from the provider. The solution package (.sppkg) build with SharePoint framework is not classified as 'add-in'. Thus, we cannot add add-in in the Store that depend on SPFx solution and there is no way of delivering customizations to the modern page.
    I can offered two options for solving this issue: 1) Adjustment of point 4.18 (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/office/dev/store/validation-policies#bk_4) from the Store policy to allows SPFx modifications 2) ApPSource store to start allowing .sppkg solution packages to be added

    Thanks for your feedback! We’re reviewing your suggestion. We are absolutely looking into making this happen sooner or later, so that you can more easily distribute your customizations for Office 365 customers.

  10. Provide the ability to write to Managed Metadata via app-only policy

    App-only policy in the SharePoint App Model is very restricted regarding Taxonomy operations. Even if an app is granted full control over the tenant, it lacks the permission to do anything but read operations on Taxonomy. Please provide the ability to create Groups, Term Sets and terms using app-only policy.

  11. Extensions: Property Pane / SideBar Placeholder (Right)

    Please provide a well-known placeholder for the property pane or better a similar placeholder that let us create a sidebar.

    Having this ability would let us create powerful sidebars/toolbox extensions. This would be a super cool enhancement!

  13. Provide clear support statement for SPFx with IE

    Right now there is no clear statement regarding the supportability of IE with SPFx. Since IE 11 is still supported for O365 and SharePoint Online, customers assume that it is supported with IE as well.
    Currently SPFx is impossible to use with IE because of performance issues and very bad memory leaks in IE. The more content and web parts are on a modern page the worse it gets. Thus, I suggest that you either fix those issues, or make a clear statement that SPFx is not supported with IE anymore. This would really help customers in making their decisions.

  14. Add information management policy management to CSOM

    Add support for managing information management policies, and especially retention policies, on content types and in libraries using CSOM. These are the objects largely in the Microsoft.Office.RecordsManagement.InformationPolicy assembly, such as the Policy, PolicyItem objects, etc.

  15. API for "Create Team from Template" with Site Design

    We can do templating on SharePoint, through Site Designs and Site Scripts. We now also have the option to "Create a Microsoft Teams from Template".
    Unfortunately, both do not work together. We either have a templated SharePoint site with a generic Teams or a templated Teams with generic SharePoint site.

    I would love the possibility to combine both templating options. Preferrably with an API from day 1.
    This would give us an end to end templating scenario, where we can create preconfigured Teams with a preconfigured SharePoint site. (In the future, hopefully with a preconfigured Planner etc as well ;)…

  16. Allow extending SharePoint Admin Center using SPFx

    It would be nice to have the ability to extend some of the functionality in the SharePoint Admin Center. Specifically, the ability to deploy SharePoint Framework Web Parts into the Admin Center (via an App Page?). Currently, the community builds lots of SPFx Web Parts to fill the gaps in the Modern UX.

    Such Web Parts include:
    Theme Manager
    Site Design Studio/Manager

    These are SPFx solutions that have been built to help better manage our environments through a UX experience (as there isn't one via First Party). It would be nice to have a centralized location where these SPFx solutions…

  17. Import XsltListViewWebPart definition

    It is actually possible to import the definition of a XsltListViewWebPart via LimitedWebPartManager in CSOM. However, not all properties are supported. Important properties like XmlDefinition, Toolbar, ViewStyle, .. are being ignored. There's no possibility to have everything set correctly not even manipulating the backed view after importing the WebPart. Please read also this discussion:
    http://sharepoint.stackexchange.com/questions/90433/add-document-library-xsltlistviewwebpart-using-csom-or-web-services

  18. Line up list item pagination with REST API using $top and $skip

    Actually, the only way to paginate list items using the new REST APIs is to use __next property. There's no way to have a full working pagination using $top and $skip token as for any other REST call.

    Need to do this in CSOM
    $columnDefaults = New-Object Microsoft.Office.DocumentManagement.MetadataDefaults($list)
    $columnDefaults.SetFieldDefault($Folder.Folder, "TestMMSColumn", "1033;#" + $term.Name + "|" + $term.Id)

  20. Provide the ability to identify features that are deactivated using CSOM

    It's currently possible to identify the features that are activated at the Site and Web level using CSOM, it isn't however possible to determine which features are present but not activated using CSOM. It would be great if this feature could be added!
