HI Radu, Could you please let me know where this activity is hosted? If I use this custom activities where does my ID and password for Sharepoint go? Will my ID/Pwd will be available local to my UI path or will it pass through the API called by the activity wherever it is hosted? Will this activity work on latest UI path 2019 version?
I wanted to be sure and safe that if I use my credentials for Sharepoint it will not go to any third party application and make it vulnerable.
Thanks,
Milind
Hi Milind,
The activity will try to login to the SharePoint site you specify and they use a Library created by Microsoft in order o connect to SharePoint. So your credentials should be safe. This activity does not add any security issues and it is just as safe to use as any other activity that handles user credentials
We tested this version and it works with the latest 2019 version too,
Thanks,
Radu
Does this tool work with on-premise 2010 sharepoint? Having error on Upload file activity as noted below.
Source: Upload file
Message: The object specified does not belong to a list.
Exception Type: Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.ServerException
An ExceptionDetail, likely created by IncludeExceptionDetailInFaults=true, whose value is:
Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.ServerException: The object specified does not belong to a list.
Cut some of the error due to length restrictions here.
Hi Aaron,
That is an interesting question. I think that, in theory, the activities should work with SharePoint2010 OnPremises too. We started developing with this possibility in mind and the API changed very little from version to version, but I have not tested, since I do not have a SharePoint2010 Instance.
Make sure you set your SP Activity Scope to "OnPremises" login mode instead of "Online" and it should work. If you have any problems, try posting the specifics on the forum, tag me and Diana Mincu to the post and we'll do our best to find a solution that suits you.
Best Regards,
Radu
Can you provide an example on how you can read from a list from a site and then add this item to another list in another site? Thank you!
Hi Haichih
The documentation can be downloaded from the Resources Tab, there you can find an example on how to add a new item to a list and on how to get items from an existing list.
If you still need help, please open a topic on the forum and we'll do our best to assist.
Hi, I'm having problem with update list items activity. As the list column types are "User" and "Refer to", we can not update them. The error message is "Invalid data has been used to update the list item. The field you are trying to update may be read only". Could you please kindly advise how I can handle this problem, thanks in advance.
There is an example on how to do this in the documentation attached to this component. If you cannot figure it out after reading the docs, please open a topic on the forum and we'll do our best to help
One more question. Is there a way to handle a SecureString variable for the SharePoint Application Scope? Or, must you use a String variable to input your password?
You can convert a Secure String to a normal string quite easily. Here's a link: https://forum.uipath.com/t/convert-securestring-to-string-get-secured-credential/1704/2?u=radu_bucur
We are currently working on finalizing the next version of this package, a version that will also have the option to input the password as a secure string
I'm a novice when it comes to writing in CAML. There are some pages in the UiPath Forms that I posted in at the link below, but a couple of simple examples would really help developers still learning. Could you put an example of what the CAML text would look like to update a SharePoint List Item?

Hey Kevin, I answered in your forum post: https://forum.uipath.com/t/sharepoint-custom-activities-documentation-not-available/142271
While installing the package from studio am getting the error
Cannot load assembly: C:\Users\djaykrishna\.nuget\packages\uipathteam.sharepoint.activities/1.3.0\lib/net461/UiPathTeam.SharePoint.Activities.dll : System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.SharePoint.Client, Version=16.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.
But the file is present in the specified location.
This is happening because you are missing a dependency of the package the Microsoft.SharePoint.Client package.
You can find it here: https://api.nuget.org/v3/index.json. Add this to your package sources or download the package and use it from an offline source
Hi, Is it possible to install this package offline?
Yes you can download it and use it offline if you also have the Microsoft.Client.SharePoint dll , which you can get from the nuget package source: https://api.nuget.org/v3/index.json
hi, I get an error in the Create Folder activity.
Message: List 'xxx' does not exist at site with URL 'https: // xxxxxx'.
I think this is a problem with SharePoint permissions. Where should I check it?
- Upload File and Get File activities work normally, so URL and Library Name are correct.
- I can create a folder manually in the browser.
- I can create a folder with the Create Folder activity at another site in the same environment.
HI Yuuki, can you please open a thread on the forum and share the code (remove any sensitive info) and tell me the library name + the name the library has in the URL when you open it in the browser?
hi, i am trying to cap the amount of results how from my read list items, but even with 6 and CAMLRowLimit: 6 doesnt seem to work. Do you know why?
Hi Markus, sorry for the late response, hope its still useful.
I tried this myself, and I managed to create a caml query that is both using filtering/row limit and ordering. This is my example and it works fine:
"
1
6"
A query which returns the top 6 items ordered by Modified date filtered to have the ID greater than 1 (obviously this filter is just a dummy filter with no practical use)
Please try it yourself and let me know if you can use it, otherwise create a forum post with a screenshot of your code and we'll do our best to help
Getting error while trying to add this .nuget package to studio."Cannot be installed "
Could you please add the following package source: https://api.nuget.org/v3/index.json and try again?
I'm using the Upload file activity and the File is getting uploaded to the sharepoint successfully. Even then UiPath is throwing error, 'File not found'. What could be the issue?
Microsoft.Sharepoint.Client.ServerException: File Not Found
Also, the sharepoint gets stuck after uploading 5 files. Is there any restriction on the number of files that can be uploaded?
I din receive any responses on the UiForum for this
https://forum.uipath.com/t/sharepoint-file-upload-error/136745
This issue has been solved on the forum.
I am sorry for the late response, we're doing our best to cover all these questions but sometimes there are some that slip through
