 * Hello,
 * I’m adding image field to my custom taxonomie terms and made it required.
    On
   the Edit term page i see Image field with name ( that i gave to it ) and a “*”,
   but when i try to save the term without adding image, it saves it and so i don’t
   get any image there.
 * Could you please fix it, so it would be like in post ( page ) editing so that
   required field is marked with the red color and there would be no saving until
   image is added.
 * Thanks.

 * Same problem with me for custom taxonomy. In my case I can’t get attached post
   at front end side. It stores into DB but didn’t show.

 * I have same issue. The required text field is not working in Edit term page.
   
   By the way, I know how to use save_post hook to validate Post publish but I don’t
   find any hook save for update/insert term.
