Provisioning Metadata Navigation using CSOM

Is it possible to enable Metadata Navigation for a list or libray using CSOM and preferably using PnP PowerShell or the PnP Provisioning framework ?

I have the same problem. Have you ever managed to solve this ?

    Did you enable the Metadata Navigation Feature on the web prior to setting the Property bag? I was able to set the filter fields, without user intervention, using the following PowerShell script:

     

    Enable-PnPFeature -Identity "7201d6a4-a5d3-49a1-8c19-19c4bac6e668" -Scope Web
    $list = Get-PnPList "Documents"
    $fld = Get-PnPProperty -ClientObject $list -Property "RootFolder"
    $props = Get-PnPProperty -ClientObject $fld -Property "Properties"
    $props["client_MOSS_MetadataNavigationSettings"] = '<MetadataNavigationSettings SchemaVersion="1" IsEnabled="True" AutoIndex="True">(with contents copied from a correctly configured folder...)</MetadataNavigationSettings>'
    $fld.Update()
    $list.Update()
    $list.Context.ExecuteQuery()
