- Additional article idea
Expected or Desired Behavior
In a Site Design / Site Script which creates Managed Metadata Site Columns, adds them to a Content Type, and applies the Content Type to a list or library, we should be able to run the Site Design multiple times on the same site - generally as the IA is tuned.
See #3967
Observed Behavior
The first time the Site Design / Site Script is applied to the site, the Site Columns are created just fine and can be used in the list / library.
On subsequent applications of the Site Design / Site Script, the Managed Metadata columns in the list / library stop working correctly, with the error "The SPListItem being updated was not retrieved with all taxonomy fields". See image below.
Steps to Reproduce
Apply a Site Design that does something like the following. The first time, all is well. On subsequent application, the Managed Metadata Site Columns are broken, as above.
