Expected or Desired Behavior

If you are reporting a bug, please describe the expected behavior. If you are suggesting an enhancement please describe thoroughly the enhancement, how it can be achieved, and expected benefit. BUG: Provisioning using Apply-PnPProvisioningTemplate majority of web parts default without desired view, full toolbar and search available.

Observed Behavior

If you are reporting a bug, please describe the behavior you expected to occur when performing the action. If you are making a suggestion, you can delete this section. Source site has a number of web parts on home page, standard type parts, Announcements, lists etc. when applying template these web parts all default with full toolbar and search available.

Steps to Reproduce

If you are reporting a bug please describe the steps to reproduce the bug in sufficient detail to allow testing. Only way to fix things properly, is to have sufficient details to reproduce it. If you are making a suggestion, you can delete this section. Create home page with desired web parts and views, toolbar, Chrome, search options applied. Execute following Powershell to create template. Excluding workflows as I can not also get this to provision well. Get-PnPProvisioningTemplate -Out ZZZ-DEV-template.pnp -PersistMultiLanguageResources -ResourceFilePrefix MyResources -ExcludeHandlers Workflows -Web 'ZZZ'

Now apply template to another site (within same collection) another issue when crossing collection with content types etc. Apply-PnPProvisioningTemplate -Path ZZZ-DEV-template.pnp -ClearNavigation -Web 'DestinationWeb';

Apply: Successful, though a number of web parts now default with FULL TOOLBAR and search & Chrome options now on. NOT as defined in Source web site.

Note: I have similar problwm when deploying webparts individually using Add-PnPWebPartToWebPartPage and unable to simple change these options.

Thanks for your contribution! Sharing is caring.

Issue could be reproduced, so marking as bug.

Internal testing feedback. Followed the steps as mentioned by the user. Provisioned template into new site and subsite. Web parts toolbar property is defaulting to “Full toolbar” Source: Site Assests -> Toolbar Type="None" Announcement -> Toolbar Type="Freeform"

Destination template: Site Assests -> Toolbar Type="Standard" Announcement -> Toolbar Type="Standard"

Hello,

I've also replicated this behaviour. I am exporting and importing multiple v3 schema XsltListViewWebParts from a template site collection to a brand new one. All of these webparts do not seem to be exported with any properties pertaining to the toolbar in the xml.

Out of curiosity I tried throwing in a but it changed nothing.
