This issue also occurred in our environment. We are unable to save document, in Word app, which has more than 50 terms, error message "required properties" is appeared.
Has someone solved the issue, or know the root cause?

Hi cebud
We didn't find any solution for this from MS, or in our extensive searching and discussions with other experts in the field.
So we changed the way we did our meta data, rather than adding all site locations individually to each document, we created an "All sites" metadata item and use that, only changing it where required.
In our case if a document didn't relate to all sites it only related to 1, 2 or up to 5 so the 50 limit wasn't an issue.
