Hi there,

I have noticed in SharePoint that when I set the default Sharing Link type to “People with Existing Access”, links default to View even when the policy specifies Edit links. There doesn’t seem to be anyway to create an Edit link by default.

Generates a View Link

The problem occurs in Office 365 Group based sites and Communication sites. I have confirmed the behavior in multiple Tenants.

For other Link types, the Edit option does work.

Am I missing something here?
