Hello,

I have created a Managed Metadata column and added it to PowerApps.

I wanted to add a default value to this column, but for some reason, it's not working.

The code added for a default value was : If(SharePointForm1.Mode = FormMode.New; LookUp(Choices([@Deliberações].Categoria); Label="Documentos Internos") ; Parent.Default)

The code works if i use a label that is one of the first 20 tags, but if i chose the 21st tag, then it stops working

Any idea to fix this?

Thank you

Hi @Field .

If you want to set the default value of metadata combo box, you need to put the proper properties of metadata field into DefaultSelectedItems property as follows.

The only issue is that you need to hardcode these properties value into the DefaultSelectedItems property since the term store doesn't really exist in PowerApps.

Please try with this.

{'@odata.type':"#Microsoft.Azure.Connectors.SharePoint.SPListExpandedTaxonomy", 'TermGuid':"082184ac-4a8b-4294-908a-6ef1c4e96b30", 'WssId': -1, 'Label': "Assistant", 'Path': "Job Title", 'Value': "Assistant|082184ac-4a8b-4294-908a-6ef1c4e96b30" }

Hope this helps.

Hi,

My issue related to this is that is does not return the Value but a number like "24" that is associated with that value, so when I try to default instead of displaying "Assistant" it displays "24" which is not useful for End Users.

Does anyone have any resolutions for this?
