Issue - Action: Add List Item "On Any Site" Only Showing Old Sites

I am attempting to push items from an existing list over to a duplicate list on a new site. When I try to setup the action "Add List Item" using the "On Any Site" option, I am only seeing sites created from the Classic Site Settings that I believe used to be called "Sub Sites." I am not presented with any of the new modern sites that I have setup either from SharePoint Admin or the new modern site creation page. Anything I can do to have these new sites appear in the site picker?

  Hi Dan Thale,

  you are right, a "Site" is what we call a subsite within a site collection, but if you just enter a server-relative url to a list in another site collection manually, the Add List Item action will still work 😉

  e.g. /sites/differentsitecollection/Lists/testlist

  Kind regards

  Matthias

  Matthias, 

  Thanks for the reply. I believe I am doing that, but I am still only seeing the same options. What am I missing here?

  Just remove the tenant url and enter it relative starting at /sites/...

  you don't have to open the select dialog, this will not show you the target site collection.

  Matthias, 

  Thanks that got it. I did that as well as remove the / at the end of the URL. 

  "sites/SkybowEnvironment/Lists/Account%20Codes"
