Cannot add existing SharePoint list to Teams

Question

Hi,

I've created a bunch of lists in my Teams created SharePoint list. If I now want to add the list as tab, none of them show up in the Add SharePoint tab dialog. Why?

Thanks,
Joe

Hi JohnDoe-3825!

Can you see your added list in SharePoint Online?

Do you have the same issue in Teams Web client?

I did a test in my environment and we can edit and add new list in Teams tab. To be noticed it will not update immediately and you need to click other tab and then click the tab you added list again.

For more details about how to create and add list in Teams, you can refer to:

I have the same problem:
Lists tab in teams picks up lists from the same team.
I have lists created at the Home Site SharePoint. It does not appear in the list of lists for any team.
It is also impossible to add the list with the URL. It starts to add it, recognises the title and then says 'can't access the programme. try againe.
