Hi, thanks for this update, it's very useful. But I couldn't figure out how to add new values to managed metadata? I have a sharepoint list with managed metadata columns, and using sharepoint default forms, user can add new term if it doesn't exist. When we created powerapps form, user is limited to select from available terms. Is this by design or are we missing something?

    Hi everyone, sorry about the late reply. Unfortunately adding new values through PowerApps is not supported yet. We have it on our list of things to fix, but I can't yet provide an estimate on when it will be available.

      @Kerem Yuceturk,

       

      Do you have any update on this? We are completely reliant on MMS fields and adding new values through PowerApps is much needed.

        I needed this to use powerapps to change a Sharepoint list item's creation form.
        Because, in our tenant, impossible to hide a field when we want...
        Again a restriction of Powerapps. Users can't add their own values.
        How do you think we will use this thing if every existing functionnlity from Sharepoint are not supported, translated.
        Will fallow the subject but don't have real hopes.

        Hi Paul_at_DI. Unfortunately, there are no new updates. I'd encourage you to submit this feature request on UserVoice and/or the Power Apps Community.
