Restrictions and limitations

Document uploading

  • SharePoint workflow support is not available. This change is in-line with how Microsoft now supports various independent workflow management integrations in SharePoint cloud deployments.
  • Permission setting is now restricted to:
    • inherit parent folder permissions.
    • grant users or group read or read/write access to the uploaded document.

List item

  • SharePoint workflow support is not available.
  • List subfolders are not supported. List items can be created in the List root folder only.
  • Permission setting is not supported.
  • Files cannot be attached to lists.

Fields metadata

  • Only users who have previously made operations in the SharePoint site can be added to a field. (Giving permission to those users is sufficient.)
  • Groups cannot be added to the 'Users' type fields.
  • External users cannot be added to the 'Users' type fields.

Managed Metadata (Taxonomy) fields

  • Taxonomy field handling is off by default. To turn it on, create a DWORD value on the AutoStore server as described in the Add/Edit Field dialog box section.
  • Taxonomy fields (column type "term" and "multiterm") require Delegated access and additional delegated API permissions (Graph TermStore.Read.All and Sharepoint AllSites.Write) with admin consents. Microsoft Graph term-store endpoints reject application-only tokens with HTTP 403 (accessDenied). In Application Mode the component logs a single warning (or, when Verify values is on, an error) for the configuration and skips term resolution; the document or list item is still routed with the remaining fields applied, but the taxonomy field is left empty.
  • Only terms that exist in the term set linked to the column can be assigned. Input values are matched against the term GUID first, then against the default label, then against any non-default label of the term, all case-insensitive. Input values that do not match any term in the term set are reported in the workflow log and skipped. When Verify values is selected, partial resolution is treated as an error; if at least one of the supplied values fails to match a term, the whole field assignment is rejected, and the document or list item is rejected as well. With Verify values off, the component proceeds with the values that were successfully resolved and logs a warning for the unresolved ones.
  • Hierarchical term selection (selecting a specific term while pinning its parent) is not exposed in the configuration UI; values are resolved against the flat list of terms in the term set. If two terms in the same term set share the same label, the first match returned by the SharePoint server is used.
  • Custom (non-default) sort order of terms defined in the SharePoint term store is not preserved in the Select Field Value dialog box; terms are listed in the order returned by the SharePoint server.

Delegation mode

  • Browsing sites is supported only to a limited extent, e.g. browsing subsites is not supported in this access mode.

Known issues

  • Updating a list item with hyperlink (URL type field) is not supported.
