Hi Michelle,

 

I'm having an issue with the filtering pane in modern list views. I've included an Enterprise Keywords column in my list; while I can filter in other columns for managed metadata I cannot with this column. Whenever I enter one of the keywords, the list views shows up empty even though there are items tagged with it even in that view. Is this a known issue or do I need to change something in my configuration?

 

Regards,

Nils The term "Duldung" shows up here several times

 

 

Once I filter for it this is the view I get

    I can still not repro. Can you send me a fiddler trace?

      Hi Miceile,

      I'm on a machine with sensitive data where I'd rather not grant all the permissions to Fiddler. Right now I can't spend the time to get it working on another machine- I'd be happy to screenshare on my Mac / virtualized Windows though if that's of any help.

       

      Best, 

      Nils

      Sure, I'll need to get back to my desktop tomorrow morning (I'm based +9 hrs from Seattle) and get it set up though.

    Hi Nils, sorry you are seeing this behavior. 

     

    We did have an issue with managed metadata selection in the filters pane, but the fix is rolled out to everyone. 

     

    I want to confirm, you ARE seeing some managed metadata columns working in the filter pane? How did this specific column get added to the filters pane? Did you pin, or was the column part of your metadata nav settings? (It shouldn't matter, but I want to try and repro.)

     

    Best,

      Hi Miceile,

      yes, I'm still seeing this- the sceenshots are a couple of hours old.

       

      • If the column contains only my taxonomy metadata, there's no issue filtering it (works great, even). I can only replicate the issue in an enterprise keywords column.
      • It was added right in the list, not via content type.
      • Metadata navigation (in SPO classic view) has not been turned on (we're currently making the switch to SPO).
      • The views seem not to be an issue; I've used views from  all items (without foldesr) to my specific views and the issue persists. 
      • Neither does pinning or not pinning this column make a change; in the previous screenshots it was added automatically but I've tried both ways now.
      • It doesn't change either when I create the coloumn on a regular team site vs. a group site made via MS Teams.

        I was able to repro the Enterprise Keyword issue to find the cause of the bug. We have a fix and it will be avaliable to everyone August 28. 

         

        Thanks for helping us fix this :)
