 * Thanks for the heads up! It works with the id.
 * I have a plugin that does come with its own taxonomy and I want to integrate 
   that with my other custom post types on a wieder taxonomy without touching the
   code of the plugin.
 * A bit wieder example:
 * Taxonomy: Person
 * PostType A:
    Position A: Person1 Position B: Person2
 * PostType B:
    SomeOtherPosition: Person1
 * And I want to combine everything though the Person Taxonomy.
    Some field in PostType
   A are populated by a plugin, so while saving the post I’d grab them and add them
   to the “Position A” and “Position B” field (and therefore to the Person Taxonomy).
 * I don’t see an other option to solve this problem. Or do you have something in
   your mind?
 * thanks, J.

 * Btw. The reason I use it that was is that I have want to classify “person” with
   a taxonomy. This persons can have different functions and I want to display them
   separately in my post. So for example:
 * field_function1 -> Person1, Person2
    field_function2 -> Person3
 * So, since they are all persons, and they can change the role over time I’d like
   to share the taxonomy of them through multiple fields.

 * Hi Jim
 * Thanks for your answer.
 * I’ve got that so far. But if I add the same value through the wordpress admin
   interface it let me save the edit. So I can rephrase my question in to: How I
   assign the therm to the field without creating a new item in the taxonomy? (e.
   g.. reusing an already existing taxonomy value in that field?)
 * Thanks a lot.
 * J.
