Collecting multiple SharePoint Document Libraries

(1) Share

Posted on by Lyondenn

I am working on a canvas app which is intended to combine the view for multiple SharePoint Document Libraries, a total of 5 different libraries in all. As far as I can tell, each library has the same set of Columns with consistent types between each library. I am facing a problem when trying to Collect all 5 libraries. I can get 3 of them to work, while 2 of them produce an error that I'm getting Invalid argument types.

Here is my App's OnStart Property for the ones that work:

Here is what it looks like when I try to add the other 2 libraries:

When I add the two libraries marked in orange, the Collect fails.

Any ideas on what I should be looking out for when trying to troubleshoot this?

Try adding the other two to a different collection temporarily. That will let you verify that the columns are the same. If they aren't you may have to do some work with AddColumns, DropColumns, RenameColumns, or ShowColumns to adjust which columns are in the Collection.

I was able to resolve by creating a collection per library and using ShowColumns to utilize the correct columns needed. I did RenameColumns for some of the items to make them all uniform, then created a separate collection that includes all those collections.

Thanks for the insight Pstork1
