Unable to update document library Managed Metadata column

P

We are trying to update the Taxonomy fields in a SharePoint document library through Nintex workflow(Site Column & List Column) using rest api(https://community.nintex.com/community/build-your-own/nintex-for-office-365/blog/2015/06/25/update-managed-metadata-with-nintex-workflow-for-o365-via-sharepoint-rest-api), but the fields are not updated with the values. But Nintex support team has suggested that it only works for lists and not for libraries. 

 

Has anyone in the community has found the workaround for the solution? If anyone has a workaround could you please update the community

The above issue is resolved once I modified the workflow as per the above steps. My workflow is a Site workflow and if I run the workflow manually it works fine, but If i schedule the workflow it gives an "403" error at the action "Call HTTP Web Service". I have given the Workflow App "Full Control" permissions as well.

Kindly assist.

Hi Ranjith,

I have updated the App permission xml to sitecollection level as mentioned above, but still I am encountering the same issue.

Am I missing any other setting on the site?

Thanks,

Hi,

Try the other action - "Web request". Using it you can provide credentials (https://help.nintex.com/en-US/O365/#o365/O365WorkFlow/WorkflowActions-INT/WebRequest.htm%3FTocPath%3DWork%2520with%2520t…), so no such issues should occur.

An unexpected 'PrimitiveValue' node was found when reading from the JSON reader. A 'StartObject' node was expected.

Are You using Metadata columns hidden field internal name ?

for example Column name Would be " TaxonomyField_0 "

to get the metadata columns display name, follow below link 

Find Guid of list column in SharePoint – Kenneth's tech site 

Thanks,

Yes, I tried using internal name of metadata column and also TaxonomyField_0. But didn't work.

As mentioned by you I tried to use guid of the column, but no luck.
