Pnpjs: Implement fix for getting term label name instead of id for single value managed metadata field

  Version

Please specify what version of the library you are using: [ 1.2.5 ]

Please specify what version(s) of SharePoint you are targeting: [ SP 2013 ]

I am getting all field values of a list item using below method:

  pnp.sp.web.lists.getByTitle(libName).items.getById(8).get().then((item) => {
        console.log(item);
});

Expected / Desired Behavior / Question

The returned object contains the look up id for Managed metadata fields instead of the label name. This is a longstanding issue with SharePoint REST endpoint which Microsoft has not fixed yet but there are some workarounds to this problem.

Workarounds are discussed over this StackExchange post.

Hi @unnieayilliath,

Unfortunately, it can't be fixed in the library. This is REST API behavior. But you can leave a user voice for it here.

As a workaround renderListData (works for SP 2013) or renderListDataAsStream (SP 2016+) methods can be used.

@koltyakov Thanks for pointing me to renderListData , I had already up-voted the user voice , but it's been years idk why this can't be fixed at REST API
