Hi,

You need to use Guid value of terms and you can find the guid value from site setting -->site administration -->term srore management --> terms set-->terms -->Unique Identifier

Hi Manidurai Mohanamariappan

The documentation says you can do this :-

Managed Metadata (single value with path to term): -Values @{"MetadataField" = "CORPORATE|DEPARTMENTS|FINANCE"}

I have added this to the PnP PowerShell list of issues.

  Yes, your correct set-pnplistitem supports both path and guid but douctment only available for set-pnplistitem and not for add-pnpfile. and i guess managed metadata path supported recently.so it will updated soon to add-pnpfile.
