Custom Taxonomy not saved with checkboxes

Hi,

my custom taxonomy values don’t work with checkboxes – no values are saved in the custom post. It works with a dropdown field but as I want users to be able to select more than one category this is not an option. I tried the multiselect field as well but it only saves the first of the selected categories.

Here’s what I’m using:
– Gravity Forms + Custom Post Types
– Gravity Forms: Post Updates (https://wordpress.org/plugins/gravity-forms-post-updates)
– Jobify Theme (http://themeforest.net/item/jobify-wordpress-job-board-theme/5247604

Thanks,
floe

I just discovered this issue as well. Based on the code, in which this comment occurs:
```
/*
         * Save linked taxonomies for a sinle field
         */
        function save_taxonomy_field( &$field, $entry, $taxonomy ) {
```
I’m assuming that it’s not supported. I need it though, so I’m going to try and write it.

On further investigation, I was wrong…this should work for checkboxes. The issue is that GF doesn’t seem to be making the proper $entry object. Still looking.

This is def. a bug. When a set of checkboxes is created and use a taxonomy as a source, GF is not creating the elements in the $entry array, Which means that nothing is being added.

Hi theMikeD,

I was just wondering if you already have a solution for this that you could share?

Thanks, floe

This was working in earlier versions of GF. Since I updated a site to GF 1.9.6 (from 1.8.5) it doesn’t work anymore 🙁

Solved SuperSoju!

Do you guys think there will be another update for this plugin? On the Github there’s talk of a version 4 somewhere, but I can’t find a repo on that one.
