SharePoint Update Item Action : Managed Metadata Columns only returning single term

Hi,

 

I have a flow that is used to collect attachments from a list and copy them to a document library along with all the relevant column data values. There are two managed metadata columns that I need to update the values for, but am only seemingly able to pass the last value to each column - How do I configure to update ALL managed metadata terms from one to another?

    Hi @MP4249 ,

     

    This problem occurs because you set the field to allow multiple selections.

     

    You can refer to the following method to update the two fields, for example, to update the Tags field. You can follow a similar method for the other field.

    • Initialize the array variable to store the Tags value contained in the item, traverse the Tags and append the value to the variable in the specified format.
    • Finally, update the file property with variables. The point is to append the value of the managed metadata field in the item to a variable to use.
