Search & Filter Managed Metadata

[FIVESIGN]

Hey dear Community members!

I just can't get any further, and everything I find on the net doesn't work or confuses me even more. What I want to do should actually be quite simple and yet I am losing my mind!

I have a SharePoint list and in one column we write tags that match the topic - this is a Managed Metadata column.

Currently I have a gallery that is searched with the following code.

SortByColumns(Search(Filter('MY LIST'; !'Toggle'.Checked || ('Toggle'.Checked && 'Flow Variable' = "Approved") ); searchbox.Value; "Title"); "Title"; Ascending)

This works perfectly. Now I want to search not only via title, but also in the tags (Managed Metadata). But it just doesn't work and I figure it out. I thought I could just bring in the "tags" as a search value as well, but that doesn't work.

SortByColumns(Search(Filter('MY LIST'; !'Toggle'.Checked || ('Toggle'.Checked && 'Flow Variable' = "Approved") ); searchbox.Value; "Title" & "Tags"); "Title"; Ascending)

Then I tried differently and created a combobox, but here I just get the values 0 - 19 and not the available tags.

Sort(Choices('MY LIST'.Tags); Value; Ascending)

Any ideas?

Hi @FIVESIGN ,

This is because Managed Metadata column shown as a text, but indeed its data type still is managed metadata.

So, if the Managed Metadata column does not allow multiple values(with single value), you can simply save this MMC column value into a new column using AddColumns function. See my example, my managed1 column is a MMC column that does not allow multiple values, so I use this formula:

Search(AddColumns(list6,"Newmanaged1",managed1.Label),TextInput1.Text,"Newmanaged1")

If the Managed Metadata column allows multiple values, you should concatenate multiple values to a string using Concat function. See my example, my managed2 column is a MMC column that allows multiple values, so I use this formula:

Search(AddColumns(list6,"Newmanaged2",Concat(managed2,Label&";")),TextInput1.Text,"Newmanaged2")

So on your side, you should try this(single value):

SortByColumns(Search(
Addcolumns(Filter('MY LIST'; !'Toggle'.Checked || ('Toggle'.Checked && 'Flow Variable' = "Approved")),"NewTags",Tags.Label); searchbox.Value; "Title","NewTags");
"Title"; Ascending)

Or(multiple values):

SortByColumns(Search(
Addcolumns(Filter('MY LIST'; !'Toggle'.Checked || ('Toggle'.Checked && 'Flow Variable' = "Approved")),"NewTags", Concat(Tags;Label&";")); searchbox.Value; "Title","NewTags");
"Title"; Ascending)

Best regards,
