How are we supposed to work with taxonomy now? How do we get PathofTerms or Parents?

Hi. So a couple things I'd like to touch on.

First, we certainly understand the frustration here with Taxonomy. During our transition from V3 to V4, we made the tough decision to move from the SharePoint v2.1 endpoints to Microsoft Graph, in hope to ensure the long term support of the API endpoints we use and to follow Microsoft's continue progression of moving towards the Graph API. We believe this is in the best interest of the library to move away from the v2.1 SharePoint endpoints.

In doing so, we lost some functionality within the Taxonomy module. We lost the ability to search() terms, the ability to getChildrenAsAtree (which we were able bring back), and functionality with parent terms. This unfortunately is a result of Microsoft not supporting this functionality in Graph, even though it existed in the old v2.1 endpoints.

In regard to your current issues, our documentation is incorrect. That select "parent" on a term was left over from the previous docs during our transition. Unfortunately parent, isn't a property of a term, so there is no way to retrieve the parent term when you're given a term id.
