Hi All -
I have been reading the DOZENS of posts in this forum looking for a solution to the "Unspecified Error..." that is returned when trying to use SOAP or REST.
It seems that dozens of us are trying to use these standard SP features, and yes, like many of you, I too have read the glories of SP Online and these features have been included as available in the SP Online service information. However, here in this forum the SP support tech tell us that they are, in fact NOT supported.
I have been scouring the www for almost a month trying to find a solution to this error which stems from, of all things, simple authentication (go figure!) and there are no solutions, I have read everything I can find on this.
From within this forum, I found this thread from another, very frustrated user, who like me, expects these standard SP features to be available! http://community.office365.com/en-us/forums/145/t/79151.aspx
One common factor in all of the forum threads is that the support tech suggest that we submit feedback so that this matter will get the incredibly important attention needed to get resolution.
Here is a link to that feedback tool: http://support.microsoft.com/common/survey.aspx?scid=sw;en-us;2222&altStyle=MFE&renderOption=OverrideDefault&showpage=1&fr=1&nofrbrand=1
Please, everyone, click and provide feedback. Being able to access list data across a site collection is an important feature in create valuable and viable solutions for our teams and our customers!
Thank you for helping to push Microsoft toward a solution on this issue.
