[Resolved] Don’t let user add new taxonomies

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:

The issue here is that the User wanted to remove the ability for customer's to add new taxonomies from the frontend forms.

Solution:
You can actually do this through the frontend form. What you need to do is to edit your form on the backend.

Then select your taxonomy field to expand it.

Once you've click the taxonomy field you will be presented with the options.

Under "Add New" you can select "Do not let visitors add new terms".

I have a user content form where users should apply taxonomies. But they should only select from existing taxonomies not create new ones.
Therefore I went to toolset>access restriction>taxonomies(might be called different but you should get the idea) and changed the settings to "Assign terms". So I expected that "Anbieter" only can assign taxonomies.
I did that for all the taxonomy types I do use in this specific form but still, it looks like this: (screenshot showing form)

Thank you for your great support!

Hi Roman,

Thank you for getting in touch.

You can actually do this through the frontend form. What you need to do is to edit your form on the backend.

Then select your taxonomy field to expand it. See Screenshot for example

Once you've click the taxonomy field you will be presented with the options.

Under "Add New" you can select "Do not let visitors add new terms".

Please let me know if this helps.
Thanks,
