   Greetings!

   Is there any clean way to add an existing term, that is currently assigned to one taxonomy, to another taxonomy?

   Using wp_insert_term, it will add a new term no matter what. I don't want this to be an "alias" as I would like to keep the same term_id. Basically, all I would need is to put an entry into the wp_terms_taxonomy table, but you know, I'd like to avoid custom sql queries as much as I can.

   I am mapping users and photos to albums, and have two taxonomies, "album-user" and "album". Basically any user assigned to the term can post photos within that term.

   Thanks!

   Figured out my own problem. But if anyone find it useful, you must specify the exact name and slug of the term in wp_insert_term as such:
   wp_insert_term($term->name, 'taxonomy', array('slug' => $term->slug));

   However, it would be nice to simply do this by id with a wp_assign_term
