Group Connected Site Taxonomy Feature not activated

Hi, 

 

If you created a SharePoint Team Site that is connected to a Office 365 Group the hidden taxonomy Feature is not activated. So you can`t create a managed metadata field. 

 

Does any body know is there a reason for that or is it supported to activate the Feature? 

 

I successfully activated the Feature via PnP but it is a bit strange that it is not activated by default.

    Hi benny1831 - I created a Topic Communication site a few days ago and I can't Turn on Enterprise keywords (library settings) and on the Site Settings page I don't see Term Store Management or settings related to Content Type publishing.   Did you activate the feature with:

    'Enable-PnPfeature -identity 73ef14b1-13a9-416b-a9b5-ececa2b0604c'  (TaxonomyFieldAdded). I did this and when I run Get-PnPfeature it shows that it is enabled but I still can't turn on Enterprise Keywords at the Library level.   Is this what you did or is there another feature?   Oddly on a different Communication site I do have the taxonomy related settings on the site settings page and I can add Enterprise keywords to a library.  

    I realize you were asking why (which I don't know) but it may help me understand how to resolve this. I am comparing settings and I am now going to look at Custom Script settings.  Thanks Greg
