Recently, I was helping a client migrate some SharePoint lists<\/a> from one environment to another, and we needed to programmatically create new lists based on existing templates. The critical piece of information we needed was the SharePoint List Template ID<\/strong>. The issue is… finding and using these IDs isn’t always easy. In this article, I’ll walk you through everything you need to know about SharePoint List Template IDs, including where to find them and how to use them in your SharePoint projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is a SharePoint List Template ID?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A SharePoint List Template ID is a unique numerical identifier that represents a specific type of list template in SharePoint. These IDs are essential when you’re programmatically creating lists, customizing SharePoint, or developing solutions that need to reference specific list types.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to Find SharePoint List Template IDs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are different ways to find SharePoint list template ids.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Method 1: Using PowerShell<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

One of the most reliable ways to get a complete list of template IDs is using PowerShell<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue\n$site = Get-SPSite \"https:\/\/yoursharepointsite.com\"\n$web = $site.RootWeb\n$web.ListTemplates | Select Name, ID | Sort-Object Name<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
This script will return all available list templates in your SharePoint environment along with their corresponding IDs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Method 2: Using SharePoint REST API<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
If you prefer using the REST API<\/a>, you can retrieve template IDs with this endpoint:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
https://yoursharepointsite.com\/_api\/web\/listtemplates<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
This will return an XML or JSON response (depending on your headers) containing all list templates and their IDs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Method 3: Check the SharePoint Object Model Documentation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Microsoft’s documentation provides a comprehensive list of template IDs in the SPListTemplateType enumeration, which is helpful when developing SharePoint solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Using Template IDs in SharePoint Development<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Creating a List Programmatically with C#<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Here’s a simple example of creating a generic list using C# and a template ID:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
using (SPSite site = new SPSite(\"https:\/\/yoursharepointsite.com\"))\n{\n    using (SPWeb web = site.OpenWeb())\n    {\n        web.Lists.Add(\"My New List\", \"Description here\", SPListTemplateType.GenericList);\n        \/\/ SPListTemplateType.GenericList corresponds to template ID 100\n    }\n}<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Using Template IDs in PowerShell<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
If you’re automating SharePoint administration tasks, you can create lists with PowerShell:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue\n$web = Get-SPWeb \"https:\/\/yoursharepointsite.com\"\n$template = $web.ListTemplates[\"Custom List\"]\n# Or directly use the ID: $templateID = 100\n$web.Lists.Add(\"My PowerShell List\", \"Created with PowerShell\", $template)<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Using Template IDs in SharePoint PnP PowerShell<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
For modern SharePoint Online, PnP PowerShell makes it even easier:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Connect-PnPOnline -Url \"https:\/\/yourtenant.sharepoint.com\/sites\/yoursite\"\nNew-PnPList -Title \"My PnP List\" -Template GenericList\n# Or by ID: New-PnPList -Title \"My PnP List\" -TemplateId 100<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
