Adding columns in the files tab within teams does not work

Question

Adding columns in the files tab within teams does not work

Jaimy ter Meulen 25

Hi all,
If I want to add a column (+ Kolom toevoegen) within the files tab in teams, I can indicate the type of column. When I click Next (Volgende), nothing happens. This problem affects all users. Are there more people with this problem? Excuses, Image is in the dutch language.

Hi Ran,

Thank you for your answer, we now indeed solve it with the workaround of doing it in SharePoint. What also works is to do this by editing it in grid view.

Hi @Jaimy ter Meulen

Yes, it can be used as a workaround until the issue is fixed. If the issue is fixed that 'Adding column' in the Files tab within Teams, I will notify you in this thread.

Hello everyone,

I'm facing the same problem (not being able to add columns in the files area) in Microsoft Teams...

Has this situation already been resolved? Or will you continue to create in grid view or sharepoint mode forever?

Same here. Shouldn't have to do this in SP if the option is there in Teams files.

Hi @Jaimy ter Meulen

This appears to be an error that is still being fixed. I've tested add column in my own test environment and it doesn't work either. But you could achieve it by adding a column from Teams SharePoint site.

Go to Files tab < click on "Open in SharePoint".
Click on Setting button (On right top corner) < Library settings < More Library settings < Create column.
Fill in name, category and other information for the column < OK.
