I have some weird problem that I encounter while working with Sharepoint custom list. Sometimes created list is duplicating itself. But the workflows of the duplicated item is not running. Anyone having this same issue?

a newbie here and working on a project for my work and i wonder if there is any one has any knowledge to how-to Split SharePoint List [Request] into Subsidiary SharePoint List Based on Concatenated Column in Primary SharePoint just to make sure that you got the image right here is what i want to do:-
Created a [PowerApp] to make a request, and the way it's handled the user can choose multiple items in the primary sharepoint list "Concatenated" in one column,
on the other side there is someone who handles these request and i would like to breakdown this "Request Concatented Colum" into another "Subsidiary SharePoint List" sharing the same Unique identifier that was created for the request but it has to be as (ROWS)..
if anyone got any idea of how it may be done, will be very much appreciated.
I successfully went into designer and changed the url and name of a SharePoint list from A --> B. However the items in the list still have the name "A" in the url so they will not open anymore now that the url of the list is B. I have a few thousand items in the list so is there anyway to make the change in the list name reflect in the url of the items as well?
You might want to try renaming it through SharePoint Designer to see if does the job the UI left incomplete.
A harder way to achieve the same objective would be saving the list as a template (including its contents), creating a new list based on that template using the desired name, and then deleting the original list.
Here is the procedure to saving and creating lists as templates:

I am trying to merge or copy data from either an excel spreadsheet or another sharepoint list into a master list. The main "item number" column will enforce unique values, but each item will be assigned to multiple "project numbers" using metadata.
Is it possible to tell sharepoint to auto-update the metadata when duplicate items are added to the list? I could probably even edit the metadata manually if it would display the old entry for modification, but the only option I've seen is modify or delete the new item.
Sounds to me(from the description you have given) you are trying to collate several lists in to one and any data within each list you need to merge. Is this correct?
If so you will probably need to do a bit of custom code. Heres a little run through.
Get the list objects of the lists containing your items or grab your items from excel.
Iterate through each of the items in the list(or excel) importing the items over to the Master list.
Just before the above step you will need to check if the unique identifier already exists in the master list. If it does grab that item and update it if it doesn't continue adding the item as normal.
As always i would recommend you have a crack at it yourself. It's far more rewarding to make something work yourself and to be honest to do the above if you can read other peoples code it should take too long to copy(i mean reuse :P) other peoples code off the web to get the desired outcome.
I am not aware of a way you would be able to do this out of the box or via SharePoint designer.
Hope this helps

I am trying to create a managed metadata field, but it isn't showing up in my crawled columns. It is a custom field. I am not sure what is wrong, but when I search, my only result is the view all items page that relates to the list. It doesn't seem to search the list items themselves. I don't know if that is relevant or not.
I added this column to my view just incase it was needed, but that didn't work.
Depending on when you added the new columns, it may not have been crawled yet by the search service. If it has been a while and you know that the crawler should have picked it up, you might try to delete the search index and run a new full crawl to pick it up correctly. It may be something as simple as an incremental crawl indexing the list as a whole and not the item itself.
I have a list in SharePoint that contains several fields. I need to do some calculations on this list (filter and count) and display the results on a different page. We are currently using SharePoint 2007.
I can't get what I need by creating a view from the list. I need to create a new list based on the first list to get the proper level of filtering.
The result I am trying to get from this view needs to be displayed on a separate page.
Since you edited with "I need to create a new list based off the first list to get the proper level of filtering" I would suggest writing a console app with some CAML to query exactly what you need and then dump that into a new list.
However, it sounds like you could be using some calculated columns and then do what Moo suggested.
I think some more details about the question would help you get a better answer.
In the list settings, you can add filters and counts/totals/sums to the view.
