Why are metadata changes not applied to list items?
I update a term and hit up and the changes are not reflected on a content type (wiki page) where I am using that meta data item. After making the term item update (changing text) and navigating back to the wiki page I inspect the properties and the value is not showing the updated value.
How to query for managed metadata for term and parent?
#0 in the query string before the term ID means query for only the specified term ID. (e.g. owstaxidGeography:#052263385-1fc3-4323-8d6b-50c8f6c3c45d) # before the term ID means query for the specified term ID or the ID of any of that term’s child terms. (e.g. owstaxidGeography:#52263385-1fc3-4323-8d6b-50c8f6c3c45d)
Which is an example of a managed metadata field?
I have a Managed Metadata field called Geography using the following term set as an example. This Geography managed metadata field gets mapped to a managed property called owstaxidGeography when a full crawl is performed.
How can I get label value of the meta data to update?
When I go into edit mode it shows the correct value which is good however this also would require me to navigate to every page go into edit mode and hit update/save on the page (in order to get the correct property value). How can I get the label value of the meta data to update (when making changes to the term store).
I’m talking about what happens behind the scenes in SharePoint Online when you change a term’s value within a term set from the tenant-level term store that you’ve used on a bunch of sites across your tenant. I encourage the use of the tenant-level term store to provide consistency across a tenant for corporate-wide terms.
How to get better search results in managed properties?
To help users get better search results when they search in managed properties that contain metadata with non-alphanumeric characters, you can enable the finer tokenization setting for the managed property. Let’s look at the example with a product datasheet library again.
The search schema doesn’t hold the settings of the managed auto-generated managed properties. The settings exist, but they’re hidden from the search schema.
Some managed properties are generated automatically. One example is when you add a site column to a SharePoint library or list. When search crawls that list it automatically generates a crawled and a managed property for the site column, and a mapping between them.
When to use a managed metadata column associated to a term set?
For a detailed explanation of when to use a Managed Metadata column associated to a Term set, refer to my previous post Choice, Lookup or Managed Metadata? If you’ve ever had to update managed terms in the tenant-level term store, you’ll notice term values are not updated immediately in site collections using the term.
