Change Managed Metadata column to allow multiple selection on sharepoint did not reflect on power ap

I have 5 managed metadata site columns inside my SharePoint list. and when i customize the list New form using power app, the managed metadata columns were allowing single selection. now inside sharepoint site column i modify the managed metadata site column to allow multiple selection, but this was not reflexcted inside PowerApp Create form. and idea? as i test i changed the "Update" from "Selected" to "SelectedItems" but did not have any effect.

  • So are you able to select multiples it's just not updating the SharePoint list with multiples, or can you not select multiples?
  • Your best bet, might be to save and reload the powerapp. Go into the form, remove the field, then readd the field to the form. Assuming you didn't add a bunch of customization to it.

    Hi john john I'm sure you're already doing this but whenever you make a change to the structure of the SharePoint list always make sure you refresh the data source in Power Apps:
