Unable to save managed metadata in SharePoint Document library
We are using SharePoint Online site and able to edit managed metadata and other fields in Document library. However since last few days we were unable to save or change any managed metadata fields within a specific site collection on a SharePoint environment. We are not getting any error message or warning. The situation is as follows.
1. The user edited an item and changed a managed metadata field.
2. The user saved the changed item.
3. It show it's saved ,however it just disappear from edited column
4. No error message was generated and the managed metadata field was not changed.
We have the same issue on 14 different tenants. This is becoming a major blocker for our customers.
- This is a known issue and is reported in the M365 admin center as follows:
Title: Users can't update metadata on documents with certain content type within the SharePoint Online document library
