I have a patch function that creates new records in a Sharepoint list. It works well. However, it does not work when I do not populate the "Trade" Managed Metadata field. *Note this is not a required field in the list. Any ideas why this is happening?

Patch(
    'List-Evidence_Tracker',
    Defaults('List-Evidence_Tracker'),
    {
        CriteriaID: LookUp(
            'List-Criteria',
            Criteria = DataCardValueEvCriteria.Selected.Value,
            ID
        ),
        EvidenceTypeID: LookUp(
            'List-EvidenceType',
            Title = DataCardValueEvType.Selected.Value,
            ID
        ),
        'Evidence-Title': DataCardValueEvTitle.Text,
        'Link to Evidence': DataCardValueEvLink.Text,
        ResponsibleID: LookUp(
            'List-Responsible',
            Title = DataCardValueEvResponsible.Selected.Value,
            ID
        ),
        Trade: {
            '@odata.type': "Microsoft.Azure.Connectors.SharePoint.SPListExpandedTaxonomy",
            TermGuid: DataCardValueEvTrade.Selected.TermGuid,
            WssId: DataCardValueEvTrade.Selected.WssId,
            Label: DataCardValueEvTrade.Selected.Label,
            Path: DataCardValueEvTrade.Selected.Path,
            Value: DataCardValueEvTrade.Selected.Value
        },
        Subcontractor: DataCardValueEvSubcon.Text,
        'Planned Collection Date': DataCardValueEvPlannedDate.SelectedDate,
        'Actual Collection Date': DataCardValueEvActualDate.SelectedDate,
        'Submitted to ESDC?': DataCardValueEvSubmitESDC.Value,
        'Collection Status Comments': DataCardValueEvComments.Text
    }
);
If(
     // check if there were any errors when the item was submitted
    !IsEmpty(Errors('List-Evidence_Tracker')),
     // if true, show any error message
    Notify(
        "Criteria submission failed",
        NotificationType.Error
    ),
     // else, go to success screen
    ResetForm(frmAddEvidence);
    Navigate(scrnMainScreen);
    
);
