"Couldn't upload new list item" error in Sharepoint List

Question

"Couldn't upload new list item" error in Sharepoint List

Bryan Lazerow 26

I started receiving the error: "Couldn't upload new list item" when adding items to my list. I have to download the sync csv file, and copy data again.

I have searched for what this error means, but unable to locate any documentation.

Suggestions?

@Bryan Lazerow

Whether you add new items into list manually or create a new list through excel file?

If you create a new list through excel file, are there some special columns in excel file? And how many items in the excel file?

I am adding the item directly to the list via Sharepoint. Excel is not involved at all.

Whether one list occurs this issue or all list occur this issue? One user occurs this issue or all users occurs this issue?

It seems to be only happening to 1 user (me). We have not rolled out the list to any other user. to add, I did not create the list.

Whether you use Microsoft 365 account?

Try to use another account to remove yourself account from the list, then re-add the account into the list. have a test.

I agree - it is 2023 and this is an issue. The sync issues is also related to the URL. I use the alternate text field and having a sharepoint site document library folder as the URL. If I leave it blank and update it after the list item is created, i have no issue creating it.

I also began encountering this issue on a SharePoint list I manage within the past week. I tested adding data column by column (luckily just a few) and identified the issue to be related to a URL link column. SyncIssues CSV that generates from the error indicates a duplication of the URL entered in the SharePoint list form. (i.e. https://domain.com/, https://domain.com/) I can add an item to my list entering everything else and then after sync completes, go back and add the URL to the item. Fortunately, this issue is not happening on other lists I update that also have a URL column.

Mine does not even double up the lin. But the problem lies with URL that's for sure

@Kyle Callahan we are having same issue and started when we tried to add multiple link in list. As a troubleshoot, I have tried clearing cache, worked fine just once. Its really inconvenient to keep doing that.
Hopefully there is permanent solution to it.

Check your permissions settings, I was not part of the permissions list and after adding myself again. This issue no longer exists.

Blockquote I also began encountering this issue on a SharePoint list I manage within the past week. I tested adding data column by column (luckily just a few) and identified the issue to be related to a URL link column. SyncIssues CSV that generates from the error indicates a duplication of the URL entered in the SharePoint list form.

Fortunately, this issue is not happening on other lists I update that also have a URL column.

We have one user also reporting this issue. This workaround works. However, is there a solution? It's a slight inconvenience.

Answer 4

I have not been able to solve the issue itself, I have found a work around.

Add the item in 'classic SharePoint'. For me I can access 'Return to classic SharePoint' via a link at the bottom of my SharePoint site's navigation. Once there, I can add items without issue. I can even 'Exit classic experience' and the items will still be there. This doesn't solve the issue of being able to add items through the normal forms/views. Obviously, this isn't a desirable solution to the issue, but this fix has allowed me to continue using my SharePoint List. I would love to hear from anyone who has been able to solve the issue at its root.

Hope this helps!
