I have a group of fields. One of them is a taxonomy field. On save, the term is not being set to the post object. Can I use the taxonomy field inside a group?

I see the term ID being saved to the database as post_meta since the entire group is being saved as a serialized array.

Just for troubleshooting sake, when the group is set to clone true or false and sort is set to true or false, the post term is not set.

Hi Clayton,

Unfortunately, the group field saves all values of its children into 1 array, and bypass the behavior of the taxonomy field. If you want to set post terms, then it’s a connection between post and terms. Therefore, a top-level taxonomy makes sense, e.g. don’t put it inside a group.

I really need this functionality so I wrote a function that runs on save_post. Hopefully is helps somebody else.
