Here are some major "Oops!" moments from the MS SharePoint team:
(Note: They do a good job in general, but it's always good to provide some constructive feedback!)
(Note: They do a good job in general, but it's always good to provide some constructive feedback!)
- Document IDs from the DocID service are not always unique (even within a site collection)
- Released with a bug where documents created within sites created from the same custom site template will repeat Document IDs
- http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/sharepoint2010general/thread/c52e3f36-fe40-46e1-a4a4-caca904c7419
- There is another issue where items copied from another site collection may duplicate a DocID, which is more understandable than the site template bug above.
- Search Center master page is missing breadcrumb and navigation support
- It will not work with the v4 master page
- Workaround
- Requires Sandboxed Services
- Activated at the site collection level
- Must enable SharePoint Standard features to change Master Page after feature activated
- No more Group By Content Type on List/Library views
- Calendar Overlay Color codes are fixed, limited to 10, and have 2 ice blues with uneditable hex codes
- Managed Metadata (Term Set) fields do not work within Datasheet Views, InfoPath Forms, or SharePoint Workspace
- No regular expressions in Column Validation formulas
- You must use Excel syntax formulas
- Calculated Columns are still very limited. No Lookups, Multi-Select, Multi-Line or other complex field type support. Today and Now still do not work.
- Audiences and security groups are still isolated
- Why only allow Audience targeting on some items and group security on others?
- Why can't security be applied to a navigation item or a web part?
- Nested group support is lacking (Groups within groups, group permissions, and security)
- Nested SharePoint groups are not supported
- Workaround: Use AD security groups (if you can)
- Nested AD groups work with audiences if profile import is configured correctly!
- Only includes accounts within the profile import OU even if the security group is within the OU
- Document versioning is disabled by default in document libraries
- Since this is one of the huge benefits of a CMS, this should be enabled by default
- Workaround: Use custom templates or programmatically enable on list/library creation
- Copy To Other Location functionality does not copy metadata for lookup columns on non-office documents
- Can't copy a document to another site via SharePoint Designer Workflow action
- Cross-site workflows are still generally unsupported
- Workaround: Use a third party workflow product
- Public sites do not support mobile devices by default.
- Server level configuration is required
- FIXED:
Won't work on Office 365 Workaround: Recommend theRedirect solution- Projected Column (Lookup Column Related Fields) limitations
- Can't project another lookup column
- Can't project many other common column types
- Projected fields are not displayed in view item or edit item forms
- External Content Type / External Data Lookup control limitations
- Does not allow multi-select lookup
- External Data Lookup Picker limitations
- 200 item max
- Only 1 filter can be applied at a time (no ad-hoc "and"/"or" filtering)
- Can't filter or sort by column header
