I'm currently trying to find a way to add the Web Parts attached to my lists into a template that I can then upload to multiple sites, has anyone had success doing this before?
I've tried to do it by saving the list as a template and checking the include content box but only the data attached to the list transfers over.
Help please.
As per my knowledge you cannot have webparts included in list template. But you can try exporting and importing webparts by following below steps.
From the Web Part menu, choose Exportto create a .webpart file
In Design mode, select Add a web part. At the bottom of the Add Web Parts dialog box, click Advanced Web Part gallery and options.
On the Add Web Parts pane, select Importand then navigate to the .webpart file you created in the preceding procedure.
Click Upload and your Web Part appears in the list of Uploaded Web Parts.
Drag it into a Web Part zone on the page and you should see the same Web Part
As a workaround, you can edit the list’s AllItems.aspx page in SharePoint Designer, then put the html code to the list and save the .aspx file.
Then open this list SharePoint UI and edit the page, edit the list web part and made it "hidden" under Layout section.
Finally, save the list as template and check if the CEWP content included in the template.
