Onedrive-api-docs: Create a new list

[vgrem]

Hello,

Following the official documentation i tried to _create a list_ using the following request:

Endpoint url: https://graph.microsoft.com/beta/sites/root/lists
Headers:
Content-Type: application/json
Body:

{
  "name": "Books",
  "columns": [
    {
      "name": "Author",
      "text": { }
    },
    {
      "name": "PageCount",
      "number": { }
    }
  ],
  "list": {
    "template": "generic"
  }
}

but got the error:

Cannot define a 'name' for a list as it is assigned by the server. Instead, provide 'displayName'

After replacing namewith displayNameattribute, the following error started to occur:

One of the provided arguments is not acceptable.

Is there any errors with the provided example?

[Gelembjuk]

I have exactly same problem. All work fine with MS graph for sharepoint, except creating a list (folder in a root of a site)

[JANorman]

I've run into this issue as well. Are you able confirm if this is a bug or an error on our part? Is there any workaround we can do? Thanks.

[ificator]

Thanks guys, I'm just back from vacation and getting back up to speed on everything that happened over the last few weeks, but I'll make sure to look at this today :).

[ificator]

This looks to be a configuration issue in Graph - we'll see if we can resolve it ASAP.

[JANorman]

Any idea when this might be resolved @ificator ?

[JANorman]

Do you have any idea when you might have this released? It's blocking a lot of our users being able to create root lists.

[JANorman]

@ificator Do you have any expectation to when this will be resolved? This is majorly blocking our adoption for your API. Do you have any timelines or will it never be fixed?

[ificator]

It turns out there were a couple of issues at play - the original issue has been resolved (displayName was defined in the Graph schema), while the second is partially resolved (list CUD operations require site manage permissions). If you are assigning application permissions via the AAD Portal you should now be able to associated Sites.Manage.All with your application, however if you rely on dynamic consent I believe there's still an issue. I'll follow up when that aspect is resolved.

[Gelembjuk]

For me it still doesn't work.
I added Sites.Manage.All to "Application permission" in the application settings. But no any change

[ificator]

Hi @Gelembjuk can you provide the request id and timestamp from the response?

[Gelembjuk]

There is my request

[ificator]

Can you try specifying genericList for the template value (or just not provide list at all) and see if that works? The error message could obviously be improved is this is indeed the issue.

[Gelembjuk]

When i set
"template" => "genericList"
or when i remove the 'list' at all then i have the error
'The caller is not authenticated.'

[ificator]

Hi @Gelembjuk , can you provide the response when you see that error (or just provide the innerError with the guid and timestamp).

Hi @Gelembjuk, it looks like the token you're using still doesn't have Sites.Manage.All:

"scp":"Files.ReadWrite Sites.ReadWrite.All"

You can see this by going to https://jwt.ms and pasting you our access token. You mentioned you had above, but could you confirm that Sites.Manage.All was added to your application via the Azure portal?

[Gelembjuk]

There is screenshot of my test app settings

[Gelembjuk]

@ificator , can you explain more about the scopes and App permissions?
When i generate a token i set the scope = scope=files.readwrite offline_access sites.readwrite.all

I tried to set there also sites.manage.all , but it gives error . It seems it is not allowed scope value.
Also, in the list of delegated permissions in the app settings i don't see Sites.Manage.All . I see it only in App permissions and i have added it (see my screenshot)

What do i do wrong?

[ificator]

Ah, that looks like dynamic consent, which for some reason is causing problems. We're following up with AAD to figure out what's going on.

[Gelembjuk]

Still no any changes.
@ificator , do you know when we can expect an update?

[ificator]

Oh wow, for some reason I thought we'd resolved this issue. I just tried using AAD v2.0 and the incremental/dynamic consent appears to work. Hopefully you noticed things working not long after your ping.
