This topic will go over creating a Managed Metadata Field using REST and JSOM. I will be using REST to create the fields, and JSOM to connect it to a term set. I’ve seen many examples on the web for connecting fields to a term set, but most of them hard-code GUIDs which isn’t helpful, since they are unique to the environment.
I generally try to use REST to do stuff in SharePoint, but as we all know there are limitations with it. If you are doing research on creating content types NOT inheriting from the default “Item” content type, then you’ll have to use SSOM, CSOM or JSOM. Below is a code example of creating a content type inheriting from the “Document” content type.
I’ve finally started a blog =)
I plan to write about SharePoint development with examples focused on how to implement stuff in SharePoint. I hope the information helps others out, mainly from long nights of pounding your head against your desk trying to figure out why stuff isn’t working.
