Hello,

Toolset form is for managing wordpress post/user, there isn't form for managing taxonomy terms.

But you can use post form to add new terms in taxonomy, you just need to setup a post form, and add the taxonomy field in it . I suggest you use button "Auto-Generate Form" to setup your Toolset form, you will be able to see some codes for the taxonomy field, for example:

		[cred_field field='category' display='checkbox' output='bootstrap']
		[cred_field field='category_add_new' taxonomy='category' type='add_new']

The first line will output the taxonomy field as checkboxes, the second line will be able to output input box for you adding new terms in the taxonomy "category".
