Enable sync client to allow editable synching of team sites with mandatory metadata columns

As at 23rd Jan 2017 the newly relased One Drive for Business synch client enables synching of Team sites BUT if any libraries have mandatory meta data or require check out, the synched folder/library is read only. This cripples collaboration by teams on documents. This needs to be fixed

    Even though the document libraries are not marked as required to check out files, pressing the edit button in the yellow bar that appears (at least with Excel files) doesn't work properly all the time.

    how are you going to release an update that takes the original feature away. Who even does your QA?

    Douglas, please provide a status update, what holdup you are addressing. This resolution is needed as it's affecting all our users who depend on the check-in/out feature to manage their shared files.

    Douglas, You are THINKING ABOUT IT? What kind of message is that? Are you retiring SharePoint support altogether?

  • Rob Farnell commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    I have just confirmed that the Creators Update 17.3.6816.0313 does NOT resolve the issue either.

  • Ben Deacon commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Our sharepoint migration has been completely screwed up by this issue. This needs fixing ASAP.

  • Rob Farnell commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    17.3.6799.0327 has been released, but does NOT fix this issue. Someone will have to tell me if the Creators Update 17.3.6816.0313 resolves the issue.

    Microsoft - PLEASE FIX this major BUG asap !
    Releasing Onedrive NGSC without supporting CHeck In/Check Out or Metadata is a huge step backwards. We going to have to delay our deployment for a few more months it seems.
    I hope they're going to do a bit more that "THINK ABOUT IT" !

  • Erynn commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    I am glad we have not completely adopted SharePoint yet because this bug is enough to make me think twice. The few documents that we have set up for collaboration, that include metadata, are vital and to have the functionality ripped out of this version to save or sync back is less than ideal. Please fix this quickly. I am guessing that most users have not been made aware of this yet since they are still on an older version, but once everyone starts getting the new sync client, I imagine there will be quite the backlash.

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Same problem. This is an absolute nightmare and makes the affected SharePoint libraries virtually useless for us since we work off the local sync'd documents. C'mon Microsoft, get your product to work if you want to be taken seriously as a provider of EFSS.
