Hi, team, I would like to use some of the fields that were used in my CPT to my main taxonomy terms.
is that possible?

I only see there is Term Field Group.
at Post field, there is only option to select the POST from the taxonomy, not the main taxonomy itself.

Please advice. thanks.

at Post field, there is only option to select the POST from the taxonomy, not the main taxonomy itself.

you need to use different name as WordPress will not allow you to create same field with same slug which is already created in either custom post field or custom term field. I recommend to use different name for good reason.
