Is there a way to export custom properties with Export-SPOTaxonomy for a particular TermSet

Is there a way to export custom properties with Export-SPOTaxonomy for a particular TermSet, we are currently trying to use custom properties to determine the order of menu items in taxonomy and would like to know if there is a way to export the same so that we can make changes to them as needed and import with Import-Taxonomy.

Thanks in advance

You can use this below script for this. You dont need to Export / Import from one to another. This script will automatically copy Term Group with custom property. 

 

# Change the following to reflect your environments

# 1) Source Site
$sUrl = "https://<sourcedomain>.sharepoint.com/"
$sAdmin = "admin@<domain>.onmicrosoft.com"
$sPwd = "<password>"

# 2) Destination Site
$dUrl = "https://<destivation>.sharepoint.com/"                                                                                                  
$dAdmin = "admin@<domain>.onmicrosoft.com"
$dPwd = "<password>" 

# 3) What Term Group do you want to synchronize?
$sTermGroupName = "<Termgroupname>"

## Stop here
$lcid = "1033"

$sSecurePwd = ConvertTo-SecureString $sPwd -AsPlainText -Force
$dSecurePwd = ConvertTo-SecureString $dPwd -AsPlainText -Force
