Hi there
Instead of the categories field, rather use the drop down field. The taxonomy option should appear then and it will save the taxonomy when saving the custom post type
Cheers
Brad
Hey Brad,
Of course! That worked just fine. Sorry if I read it wrong. It picked up all of my taxonomies perfectly.
Thanks for your speedy response,
Jason
Great Jason, Glad it worked!
I’m running into a related issue with trying to use the Post Custom Field type with a Field Type as dropdown, the option to populate by taxonomy does not exist. The standard dropdown field type shows it properly.
Can get around it via the hooks in GF to populate dynamic, but this would be great to enable via the form so that import / export of forms brings with it that much more logic than code when re-deploying as a part of a plugin for custom post type.
hi idealien,
Does it make sense to store a taxonomy as a custom field? Surely you want to link it to the taxonomy rather than just store the taxonomy value?
Yes b/c I had a custom meta box on the post type editor window which stores all the data in custom fields, only some of which were taxonomy. If I remember the issue I was working towards when I posted that, it had something to do with The Events Calendar as well.
Hi Brad,
I ran into this issue today a few times too:
“I’m running into a related issue with trying to use the Post Custom Field type with a Field Type as dropdown, the option to populate by taxonomy does not exist. The standard dropdown field type shows it properly.”
I would like to link it to the taxonomy, but also have the option to save that value to a custom field at the same time. So having the “populate by taxonomy” option in Custom fields would be great!
hey guys,
OK cool I will add the populate from taxonomy option on the custom field dropdown and checkbox and radio buttons. Should be pretty simple to add
Hey Brad,
did that option get added in the end?
