Tell us what you are trying to do?
We want anyone to be able to add tags to existing posts. So my client has these events and they want anyone to add additional tags to them from the view or a form. As i understand this is not easily done, right? Is there a way to do this, or to let people edit the event, but only access the tag section in the backend?

Is there any documentation that you are following?

Is there a similar example that we can see?

Hi there,

To do that you need to create an Edit Post form and there you can add only the taxonomy in question:

https://toolset.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/2324733-Screenshot_2022_03_23_at_08.26.49.png

You need to follow the steps mentioned below:

But in the form edit screen you will not add any sort of inputs, and only add the taxonomy in question there.

So the form will only have the taxonomy input one.

Please consider that you can not do editing of any aspect of the post using Views, the Views block is to search and show content and not edit the content.

Only the Toolset Forms can be used to edit content.

Thank you.
