Term group is not imported into site collection term store

[manjunathreddy1]

Hi All,

We have exported the term group using the pnp powershell command mentioned below but it is not imported into site collection when run the import command. Please help to fix this issue.

Command used to export
Export-PnPTermGroupToXml -Out "C:\terms.xml" -Identity "Test Group1"

Command used for import
Import-PnPTermGroupFromXml -Path "C:\terms.xml"

Import command is not throwing any error but the term groups are not imported

Are you running the Import-PnPTermGroupFromXml -Path "C:\terms.xml" within same tenant? It won't create the term set if the term set already exists. You can try updating the GUID of the term set and terms to make it to recreate the term set.

After exporting the termset 'Test'

Export-PnPTermGroupToXml -Out "C:\terms.xml" -Identity "Test"

And updating the Ids

Using
Import-PnPTermGroupFromXml -Path "C:\terms.xml"

Imports the term set

@reshmee011 thanks for the response we are trying to create term set in different site collection. It should be possible to have two term sets with same ids in different sites right.

[reshmee011]

I don't think so because all term sets are stored at the global level and are available to all site collections.

@reshmee011 but it should be possible to have same term set ids in different tenants right.

Correct, same term set ids in different tenants is possible.
