“The default termstore for this site cannot be identified” – Error on Creating Local Term Set Managed Metadata Column
When trying to create a Local term set by selecting the option “Customize your term set:”, got the error message: “The default termstore for this site cannot be identified”
Root Cause:
This is because In Managed Metadata Service Application – The default storage location for Term Sets is not specified!
Solution:
Go to Central Administration >> Manage Service Applications >> Highlight your Managed Metadata Service Application >> Click on the Service Connection >> Properties icon in the ribbon >> Enable “This service application is the default storage location for column specific term sets.”
This will fix the problem!
It didn’t fix the problem…
