MicrosoftFilters Pane (Smartfilters) now available; plus new updates!
MicrosoftHi 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,
MIceile
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 :)
Hi Miceile, just a quick feedback- its working! Thank you and your team!
P.S. Is there a way to apply AND in a filter, not OR? I.e. filter to a narrower subset of documents that include both keyword 1 and keyword 2
I am having issues with filtering based on a managed metadata column though. If I select a term that has no sub-terms it is working fine, once I get to a sub-term though the filtering breaks and shows me items that do not have the selected metadata.
Managed metadata column
- Miceile BarrettHi Nils,
To answer your PS: If I understand the question correctly then we do support this functionality. The filters pane works as an AND command across different columns. For example, if you filter by the user that modified a file and a specific date, we will only show items modified by that person on that exact date.
For your bug, my team and I are still not able to get a repro of this. The breadcrumb on your screen shot is only showing one filter, but the filters pane is showing two items selected. Are there any other details about this column that you can tell me? Did you use column header filtering to get this screen shot?
- Miceile BarrettThanks Nils, this was great. We will try to figure out what is going on without the fiddler trace.
FYI: I did turn on the metadata navigation now- didn't change anything.
- I'm also exhibiting these issues.
