SharePoint Modern Lists do not support Metadata Lookup Fields
Martin-Coupal thanks for confirming this is an issue as well. At least I am not crazy. I thought that maybe adding permissions to the term store might have helped but to no avail. Per this article. https://www.spguides.com/term-store-sharepoint/
It would be great if Microsoft would respond to the thread
Thanks for the reply

IvanCole-dxcecl I did some tests and found out it was related to an access issue. However, there was no change made to the 3 tenants I found the issue, so I'm 100% it is related to a change they made. I have one tenant that do not have the issue....
Note: If it was related to a permission issue on the termstore, it would not be working when using the standard (legacy) picker....
The call creating the issue is the following:
https://mytenant.sharepoint.com/sites/demo-dept-finances/_api/v2.1/termStore/termGroups/xxxxxxx/termSets/xxxxxxx/getLegacyChildren()?$top=50
It returns:
{"error": {"code": "accessDenied","message": "End point cannot be called by the current user"}}
If I change the rest call to this, it will return all terms successfully:
https://mytenant.sharepoint.com/sites/demo-dept-finances/_api/v2.1/termStore/termGroups/xxxxxxx/termSets/xxxxxxx/Children()?$top=50
I've created a MS ticket.
Well done. You figured out how to help Microsoft solve the bug. I had also opened a case earlier and I attached your updated thread. Hopefully a fix will get rolled out soon.
Thanks

IvanCole-dxcecl I had opened a case but today it is mysteriously working fine. The support engineer was not aware of any changes made. For now this is resolved. Maybe you code hint helped Microsoft solve it. Hope you version is working as well
Thanks for the responses and help

- One last thing, do you have forms having more than one managed metadata field? When I click on the first MMD picker, everything is ok. When I click on the second MMD field picker it shows for a fraction of a second and disappear.
