We are simply updating sharing of document which resides in SharePoint online using CSOM API.

version: Microsoft.SharePointOnline.CSOM.16.1.7813.1200

DocumentSharingManager.UpdateDocumentSharingInfo () API fails if filename contains % or # in it . No error though but return '0' UserSharingResult and sharing is not getting applied.

Note: If filaname does not have % or # then API works without issue.

Is new UpdateDocumentSharingInfo () API available to accept ResourcePath instead of string for url. Please help me out.

I also tried other API ShareObject() but unfortunately this also did not work if file path (including filename) has "%" or "#" (reference: https://github.com/SharePoint/PnP/tree/master/Samples/Core.ExternalSharing)

public static SharingResult ShareObject(

ClientRuntimeContextcontext,

stringurl,

stringpeoplePickerInput,

stringroleValue,

intgroupId,

boolpropagateAcl,

boolsendEmail,

boolincludeAnonymousLinkInEmail,

stringemailSubject,

stringemailBody

)

This API returns with success status but permission level did not apply if filepath (inclusing file name) having "%" or "#" as one of character.

Note: Able to set all the parameters correctly, as it worked fine if file does not have "%" or "#" in it.

Can we expect fix in upcoming release of SharePoint CSOM Library?

CODE:

using (var ctx = new ClientContext(tenant))

        {

            foreach (char c in passwordString.ToCharArray()) passWord.AppendChar(c);

            ctx.Credentials = new SharePointOnlineCredentials(userName, passWord);

            // Actual code for operations

            Web web = ctx.Web;

            ctx.Load(web);

            ctx.ExecuteQuery();

            Console.WriteLine(string.Format("Connected to site with title of {0}", web.Title));

• Case #: 20357756

• Title: DLP policy in sp
• Description: We have been testing DLP Over-ride function in Sharepoint and found a bug- If a policy is once overridden for a file by person X (doesn’t matter the owner or not), any other person Y can choose the file (not opening the file) and share it directly without having to over-ride except in one case i.e if Y opens the doc, click at “More Options” at the Policy tip displayed and ignores it(doesn’t actually Over-ride it). Could you please suggest what can be done to prevent this and enforce Over-ride policy for each user?
