Site Design Rest API Does Not Make createSPList Verbs Correctly ( SiteScriptUtility GetSiteScriptFromWeb GetSiteScriptFromList )

[influential-eliot]

Incident

When running the GetSiteScriptFromWeb API endpoint on the Microsoft.SharePoint.Utilities.WebTemplateExtensions.SiteScriptUtility API it does not build the createSPList verb correctly.

• GetSiteScriptFromWeb ( github )
• GetSiteScriptFromList ( github )
• Create a new SharePoint list ( github )

It places the 'Title' in the 'listName' key, which will cause incorrectly made sites when the script is applied as the list or library will not be at the required location. This will obviously then mean that any relative links in the new site to said list or library will have the potential to be wrong.

This also occurs (and is even displayed as an example) on the GetSiteScriptFromList endpoint.

Example

Colloquial

As an example the following url and title:

• site.sharepoint.com/sites/siteysite/lists/documentmanagement
• Document Management

... will result in a list created at this URL when the script is applied:

• site.sharepoint.com/sites/siteysite/lists/Document Management

JSON

This is what is actually created:

{
    "verb": "createSPList",
    "listName": "Document Management",
    ...
}

Here are the properties that SHOULD be created:

{
    "verb": "createSPList",
    "listName": "documentmanagement",
    ...
    "subactions": [
        {
            "verb": "setTitle",
            "title": "Document Management"
        }
    ]
}

EDIT NOTES

I've added the GetSiteScriptFromList part.

Hiya, what's going on with this, it is now causing client issues with automated script generation.

Sorry, I don't mean to add pressure by saying that ... however it should make the script so that the list is created with the same URL and Title/Display Name so that links in new sites can be appropriately made.

Again, sorry to add this!
