I need a Custom Role (based on Author) to be able to change a Taxonomy Field (on a weekly basis), but he gets the "Cheatin’ uh? Sorry, you are not allowed to edit this item." message.

I've set Access to give him full control over this particular taxonomy.

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

Well - this is known issue to us and already reported to our developers.

Could you please tell me what is your taxonomy slug for which you would like to grant access to custom author role and I will try to help you with workaround.

Hello, Minesh. The Taxonomy name is Menu Name. I have a menu name of Dining Room (dining-room). I have a date field (Menu Date, no slug displayed) set up as a term field for the taxonomy term "Dining Room".

Well - could you please try to add following code to your current theme's functions.php file and try to resolve your issue.

function author_cap_filter( $allcaps, $cap, $args ) {

        $allcaps['edit_menu-names']=1;
    
    return $allcaps;

}
add_filter( 'user_has_cap', 'author_cap_filter', 10, 3 );

That seems to have done it! Thank you, Minesh!
