SharePoint Online - Upload document using PowerShell / CSOM with meta data

I am trying to upload document to SharePoint Online along with meta data using PowerShell CSOM 

 

 

$Context = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.ClientContext($siteURL)
$Creds = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.SharePointOnlineCredentials($User,$Password1)
$Context.Credentials = $Creds

#Retrieve list
$DocLibName = 'Documents'
$List = $Context.Web.Lists.GetByTitle($DocLibName)
$Context.Load($List)
$Context.ExecuteQuery()

$FileCreationInfo = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.FileCreationInformation
$FileCreationInfo.Overwrite = $true
$FileCreationInfo.ContentStream = $FileStream 
$FileCreationInfo.URL = 'test123.pdf'
$Upload = $List.RootFolder.Files.Add($FileCreationInfo)

$listItem = $Upload.ListItemAllFields
$listItem["Title"] = 'Title'
$listItem["PNo"] = '1234'
$listItem["Desc"] = 'Some Text'


################ Set Value for Managed Metadata Column ########## 



$listItem.Update()
$Context.Load($Upload)
$Context.ExecuteQuery()

I have issue when try to set value of Managed Metadata column column.  Tried following approaches and not working. Error - Value is not in expected range 

 

 

 

$listItem["ManagedMetaDataColumn"] = 'f31984fe-f02b-4354-ac6a-cdaa148c1357'

and other approach for which error is - Method is not supported

 

 

 

$fieldPDT = $list.Fields.GetByInternalNameOrTitle("ManagedMetaDataColumn")
$Context.Load($fieldPDT)
$Context.ExecuteQuery()
        
$taxField = [Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.ClientContext].GetMethod("CastTo").MakeGenericMethod([Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.Taxonomy.TaxonomyField]).Invoke($context, $fieldPDT)
$taxFieldValueCol = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.Taxonomy.TaxonomyFieldValueCollection($context, $term , $taxField)
$taxField.SetFieldValueByValueCollection($listItem, $taxFieldValueCol)

 

 

My question is can we specify "Managed Metadata" column when uploading the document. If yes, any help?

    Your first script is working, please check if you have got the GUID from
    Site Settings -> Term Store Management Tool -> select group ->term set --> select term --> Unique Identifier

      Verified GUID and tried but same issue.

      If I try to get reference of list item and update mata data, others columns are populated but not managed matadata column.

      This time, I don't have error

       

              $Context = CreateConnection
         
        #Retrieve list
        $DocLibName = 'Documents'
        $List = $Context.Web.Lists.GetByTitle($DocLibName)
        $Context.Load($List)
        $Context.ExecuteQuery()

        $qry = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.CamlQuery 
 
        $items = $List.GetItems($qry)
        $Context.Load($items)
        $Context.ExecuteQuery()

        foreach($item in $items)
        {
            try
            {
            $item["ManagedMetaDataColumn"] = "f31984fe-f02b-4354-ac6a-cdaa148c1357" 
            $item["New"] = '12344'
            $item.Update()            
            $Context.ExecuteQuery() 
            }
            catch [Exception]
            {
                $strException = $_.Exception + $_.ErrorDetails + $_.ScriptStackTrace + $_.ErrorDetails + $_.Exception
            }
        }
