Hello
We are trying to import data into the labels of a term set from a cvs generated Excel sheet. This works because it imports the records up to 5299 labels and than stops. Is there a limit (boundary) on the number of labels that can be imported/created in a term set. We have found no references about limits imposed.
Hope someone out there can help.
Cheers Bram

That CVS import process has been around for many years and has some significant shortcomings, i.e, it does not support everything in a term set. I recommend taking a look at the PnP cmdlets for working with terms, see https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/sharepoint-pnp/new-pnpterm?view=sharepoint-ps

Solution@Bram101 I'm sure you've figured out an alternative by now based on your post date so for what this is worth it sounds like it was related to your issue:
To work around this issue, only use the term store tool to import term sets that contain fewer than 5,000 terms. To import large term sets, use the Client Side Object Model (CSOM).
