Set values for Managed Metadata (aka Taxonomy) columns in PowerApps and Flow! (First Release)
I didn't think that PowerApps had support for content type columns? At least, it's never worked for me. Whenever I query a list or library meta data, I am able to see any list/site columns, but ones added through the content type are not supported.
That could be the case as I'm using content types and site columns. I've given details to Kerem Yuceturk so we'll see :)

To follow up. My issue was that I have too many lookup columns (people, metadata) , hitting the REST column threshold. I can work around this limit, so nice to know what triggered it at least. Thanks for checking and confirming Kerem Yuceturk :)

Kerem has proposed using a Flow to update text columns with the MMD column values, which I've yet to try out as a workaround but should work :)
- Mikael SvensonJan 11, 2018Steel ContributorI would rather create Azure functions to solve this for me - which is an option. I would create a non-conencted PowerApp, using (custom) connectors to get people lookup, term lookup etc. Then send the data to Flow or another azure function to store it in the list.
I have mostly a create scenario, view/edit is not that important right now.- Corey RothJan 11, 2018MVP
I have a content type on my list which has the managed metadata columns on it. The columns show up on the Details Screen and the Edit Screen and work correctly. However, the columns don't show up as a column I can bind on the Browse view. In my case I really need to display that. I guess I can use one of the work-arounds in the short term.
