  Please, try to use the following code to handle changing of Management Metadata field:

  var container = fd.field('InternalName').control()._el().find('.ms-taxonomy').get(0);
  container.JavascriptOnValidation = "alert('Managed metadata changed!')";

  While that is firing when the item is updated, also a few more times.  I am still missing a few items to get my piece working.

  I need to know when the managed metadata field equals 'Option 2' and if it equals 'Option 2', then I need to make another control visible.  If it does not equal 'Options 2' then the other control is hidden.

  I do not seem to be able to get the value of the managed metadata field so that I can compare it.

  [#2]: You can find examples of getting and setting Taxonomy field values in the following article:

  http://blog.vgrem.com/tag/taxonomywebtaggingcontrol/

  Getting:

  var container = fd.field('InternalName').control()._el().find('.ms-taxonomy').get(0);
  var taxCtlObj = new Microsoft.SharePoint.Taxonomy.ControlObject(container);
  var termValue = taxCtlObj.getRawText();

  [#1]: Should that alternat event registration also work for SP 2010?

  I did put that code into the JavaScript part of the form, but the alert never shows up...

  [#4]: Please, try the following code for SP2010:

  var container = fd.field('TermStore1').control()._el().find('div.ms-taxonomy').get(0);
  container.JavascriptOnValidation = "alert('Managed metadata changed!')";

  [#1]: It seems like the only thing you can do in here is report out that it's fired. Trying to call an handler function doesn't seem to work properly. I've tried a couple things and some variations of them:

   

  container.JavascriptOnValidation = "mmChangeHandler()";

   

  function mmChangeHandler() {

  console.log("Managed Metadata Changed!");

  }

  /* OR */

  container.JavascriptOnValidation = function() {

  console.log("Managed Metadata Changed!");

  }

  [#7]:

  You can define a global function and then call it:

  container.JavascriptOnValidation = "func()";
  
  window.func = function () { 
     console.log("Managed Metadata Changed!");
  }

  Hi!

  I checked with alert and it works fine indeed. I need to insert the check for mandatory field with metadata. I tried some options like:

  fd.field('FieldName').control()._el().find('.ms-taxonomy').value()

  fd.field('FieldName').control()._el().find('.ms-taxonomy').value() == ""

  fd.field('FieldName').control()._el().find('.ms-taxonomy').length > 0

  but nothing works :-( Howcan  I use it in IF statement to check if the metadata field contains any information?
