Hi team,

I'm facing trouble to update managed metadata fields via graph api, the only condition it is getting failed

  1. when first time managed metadata field not updated with the file upload , second time it will not allow me to update via patch request of graph api, though I'm receiving 200 response from graph client the managed metadata field value remains empty.
  2. If I update the missing value(from point 1) from SharePoint online , even then I'm not allowed to update it via graph api.

Kindly look and suggest the possible fix for the same

    Hello Harmeet Singh,

    There is no support Managed Metadata columns with Microsoft Graph API.

    You can upvote is this feature request on Graph Feedback Portal, based on number of people requesting for such feature Microsoft Engineering will consider for implementation.

    Support updating managed metadata columns (columns with terms / TaxonomyFields)

    Hope this helps.
