[Resolved] Automatically save taxonomy on CRED form using API

I am trying to get my CRED form to automatically select and save one taxonomy tag on submit.

I have been through suggested documentation but I just can't get it to work.

- I have setup the taxonomy called 'group'
- Inside this 'group' the actual tag I want to save has an id of '10'
and here is the code I have:

/**
 * Automatically Save Form Taxonomy.
 */
add_action('cred_save_data', 'my_save_data_action',10,2);
function my_save_data_action($post_id, $form_data)
{
    // if a specific form
    if ($form_data['id']==1129)
    {
        if (isset($_POST['group']))
        {
	    // define taxonomy ID
            $tag = array( 10 );
	   // add it to saved post taxonomy
	   wp_set_post_terms( $post_id, $tag, $taxonomy);
        }
    }
}

any help with this save data hook will be greatly appreciated.

Dear Peter,

The wordpress function wp_set_post_terms() will only take effect on wordpress native post type, I suggest you use function wp_set_object_terms() instead of it, for example:

/**
 * Automatically Save Form Taxonomy.
 */
add_action('cred_save_data', 'set_default_group_func',10,2);
function set_default_group_func($post_id, $form_data)
{
    // if a specific form
    if ($form_data['id']==1129)
    {
// if the user isn't select any group term
        if (!isset($_POST['group']))
        {
        // define taxonomy ID
            $tag = array( 2 );
       // add it to saved post taxonomy
			wp_set_object_terms( $post_id, $tag, 'group');
        }
    }
}
