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

We’ve heard your votes and comments and we’re happy to say we are actively working on supporting this scenario within the OneDrive Sync client. Stay tuned for roll out details!

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?

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

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

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" ! -

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.

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.

This is a MAJOR regression of functionality for team sites. I hope that's just a huge mistake and will be fixed asap.

This issue really throws a spanner in the way we use SharePoint at my office, it needs to be fixed asap otherwise we may need to rethink if SharePoint is the platform we want to use for file collaboration

I agree that this is a huge hindrance and has rendered a majority of our SPO site useless to many of our users who rely on their synced files for collaboration. We were forced to switch to the new sync client when all was working correctly, only to be faced with a number of road blocks. I fully appreciate the new ability to be able to select which files to sync, however, at the cost of an even more crucial function. Please fix soon!

Causes major issues when working with files. Switched to modern view to fix some issues just for this one to creep up.

Show stopper here too, was eagerly awaiting the new client to fix the file number limitations but now this sends us backwards again.
