SharePoint - Group By View Fails
Hello,
We have a library that contains document sets, normal metadata and managed metadata.
The library has a view that groups all the files in each document set folder by 1 managed metadata column. There are no other features applied.
This view has been working absolutely fine until yesterday. Now something strange happens.
When I click on one of the "group by" ___" options, I get an error message saying there is nothing found here, even though there are clearly files. If I use the little arrows to expand the "group by: ___" option, it works fine. If I use the group by tool or view on any other column, it works fine. It is only with this one managed metadata column where problems arise.
This issue also occurs inconsistently. Not everyone has this problem. I thought it was a browser issue or a system update issue. But I have the same issue even after clearing my cache, making sure everything is up to date.
What's going on?

Hi, I have exactly the same issue.
Very frustrating for our users.
I noticed when i click on the filters in a grouped view that the field configured in my grouping view is deduplicated with a |xxxxxxxxx.
I think something is wrong on Sharepoint side.
Same issue on different sites with different content types and different term sets.
I think there might be some backend issue because this occurred suddenly and affects users randomly. The only thing we noticed was that this issue only appears on either document sets or metadata (or both, not sure yet). For all other libraries, the group by tool and view works fine.
We haven't gotten any reduplication issues with a |xxxxxxxxxx issue.
Hopefully this will be fixed soon.
