Bug in Tags field - Fix

Labels

This Discussion is public

Notifications

Hi,

I just wanted to share a bug I found when using the Tags field. I had a massive form I had built after which it seemed to be corrupted, ie. the taxonomy was populating the ID number instead of the name. I had to start from scratch building the form and testing it with every single field until I found the bug.

When using the Tags field, if the form is submitted without first associating the Tags field with a corresponding category/taxonomy in the Create Post section in Form Settings, the category/taxonomy will populate with the ID number instead of the name of the category/taxonomy.

 

Deleting the Tags field will have no effect/will not remove this bug from the form. The only solution I found was to:

1. Delete the Tags field

2. Duplicate the form

3. Re-add the Tags field

4. Associate it with a category/taxonomy then

5. Submit the form.

I hope this helps anyone with a similar issue.

I have to correct myself here. I am going to repost the above with the editions as I can't seem to edit the original post.

Hi,

I just wanted to share a bug I found when using the Tags field. I had a massive form I had built after which it seemed to be corrupted, ie. another existing dynamically populated category field would populating the ID number instead of the category name. I had to start from scratch building the form and testing it with every single field until I found the bug.

When using the Tags field, if the form is submitted without first associating the Tags field with a corresponding taxonomy in the Create Post section in Form Settings, the existing (another) category field will corrupt and populate with its ID number instead of the name of the category.

Deleting the Tags field will have no effect/will not change this bug. The category field will still populate the ID number instead of its name. The only solution I found was to:

1. Delete the Tags field

2. Duplicate the form

3. Re-add the Tags field

4. Associate it with a taxonomy then

5. Submit the form.
