Hi @sns ,

This is achievable

Please follow the steps:

1.Enable the Publishing function on the source tenant Sharepoint site. Please run the below PowerShell script as an admin:

Connect-PnPOnline -url https://sourcetenant.sharepoint.com/sites/sitename  
#SharePoint Server Publishing Infrastructure of Site Collection  
Enable-PnPFeature -Identity f6924d36-2fa8-4f0b-b16d-06b7250180fa -force -Scope site   
#SharePoint Server Publishing of Site   
Enable-PnPFeature -Identity 94c94ca6-b32f-4da9-a9e3-1f3d343d7ecb -force -Scope web

2.Go to the source tenant Sharepoint list, List settings >> Save list as template

Note:

If you want new lists created from this template to include the items in this list, check the "Include content" option.
Including content can increase the size of your template.

3.Please click "list template gallery" link

4.On the List Template Gallery page, select the list template and go to FILES tab to click Download a Copy

5.Enable the Publishing function on the target tenant Sharepoint site. Please run the below PowerShell script as an admin:

Connect-PnPOnline -url https://target tenant.sharepoint.com/sites/sitename  
#SharePoint Server Publishing Infrastructure of Site Collection  
Enable-PnPFeature -Identity f6924d36-2fa8-4f0b-b16d-06b7250180fa -force -Scope site   
#SharePoint Server Publishing of Site   
Enable-PnPFeature -Identity 94c94ca6-b32f-4da9-a9e3-1f3d343d7ecb -force -Scope web

6.Go to the target tenant Sharepoint site's Site Settings page, click List templates

7.On the List Template Gallery page, go to FILES tab and click Upload Document to upload the list template just downloaded

8.Go to the target tenant Sharepoint site's Site Contents page, click New >> App

9.On the SharePoint apps page, click "classic experience" link.

10.On the Classic Apps page, select the list template

11.Create new list with this list template

HI Echo Du,
I tried with instructions you have provided.
However I am not tenant admin, is that a reason for not letting me to go further? PFA.

Hi @sns ,

If you have admin rights on the site, you can enable the Publishing function through OOTB way.

Site Settings >> Site collection features >> SharePoint Server Publishing Infrastructure >> Activate

Site Settings >> Manage site features >> SharePoint Server Publishing >> Activate

Hi Echo Du,

Thank you for your continuous support. I have enabled respective features at the site and site collection level for source site. However still I am not able to "Save list as a template" option under list settings. PFA.

Hi @sns ,

To enable the save list as a template in SharePoint Online, we should enable Custom Scripting at SharePoint Admin Center and Site Collection Levels.

Note:

Since you indicated that you are not the tenant administrator, you need to contact the administrator and let him enable the Custom Scripting.

Or you can skip the first step and execute the code of the second step directly. If it is still not feasible, then contact your administrator.

Step1: Enable Custom Scripting at SharePoint Admin Center(Tenant) Level

1.Go to the SharePoint Online Admin Center.

2.Click on Settings from the left navigation >> click on the "classic settings page" link

3.Under Custom Script section, Set “Allow users to run custom script on personal site” and “Allow users to run custom script on self-service created sites” options.

4.Click “OK”

Note: This change may take up to 24 hours to reflect.

Step 2: Enable Custom Scripting at Site Collection Level

#Variables for Admin Center and Site Collection URL $AdminCenterURL = "https://xxxx-admin.sharepoint.com/" $SiteURL="https://xxxx.sharepoint.com/Sites/marketing" #Connect to SharePoint Online Connect-SPOService -url $AdminCenterURL -Credential (Get-Credential) #Disable DenyAddAndCustomizePages Flag Set-SPOSite $SiteURL -DenyAddAndCustomizePages $False

Hi Echo Du,

Apologies for the late response, After enabling custom scripts I can see it worked with respective features activated.
