    This checkbox is in a metabox you added? So you’ve probably hooked into an action in order to save the checkbox state. Use wp_set_object_terms() within this callback to assign a tag to the post if the checkbox is set.

    Even if you did not add the metabox, the form field is still in a metabox and it’s state is saved through some action. (‘save_post’?) Hook into the action and set the term if the checkbox is set.
