SharePoint Library - Invisibile Metadata
Hi All,
Strange issue I'm running into on a library
Left is my Admin profile where files are grouped by WF Year (metadata column)
Right is a couple users with the issue where its showing Unassigned due to blank Year and Month
I've exported the data from both accounts and both have the Year and Month
Tried going to Properties on User account and the Year field appears like this
...very strange, any help would be appreciated :)
We fixed it by restoring permission inheritance on ..Lists/TaxonomyHiddenList, so it now inherits permissions from the parent site.
According to Microsoft documentation, this list is supposed to automatically inherit permissions from the site. I don't know how it ended up with unique permissions configured and with no permissions assigned. The logs in Purview also don't give any hint.

We had a similar issue where all users from one of our external guest domains were unable to see managed metadata column values. All internal users and other external guests could see them fine.
Our solution was the opposite to the solution above, we broke the permission inheritance of the Taxonomy Hidden List and added the affected users directly to have Restricted View of the hidden list.
I now will create a dynamic security group for the specific guest domain to add into the affected site.

Fantastic! Thanks so much for this. Deleting unique permissions on https://<site>.sharepoint.com/Lists/TaxonomyHiddenList worked for me too. Crazy how this issue just happened all of a sudden around the same time.
I'm having the same issue. Only happening on our Communications site (not other Team sites). Happening for members, visitors and owners but as soon as I add someone as site admin the issue goes away. I've logged a support case with MS but haven't had much luck so far (was on the phone for an hour). Will keep you posted.
I'm having the same problem. Admin profile fine but end users not seeing metadata. Thought it might be fixed over the weekend.
