Hello
I'm working on a front-end form to create custom posts. I have a non-hierarchical taxonomy that has a lot of terms. I would like the user to select and add new terms like WordPress does: with a text box where you can write and select the term if it exists.
Is this possible?

Thank you!

Yes, this should be already possible as soon you create a new form which either edits or creates new Posts, to where the Flat Taxonomy is assigned to.
If you then autogenerate the Form, and insert it where adequate on your Website, you should then see a similarly styled input for the Flat Taxonomy where the user can:
- type and select existing
- type and add new

Is that what you where looking for?

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

Well - do you mean that you want to display the popular terms and the input box to add new term with taxonomy field using forms? If Yes: please follow the information shared by Beda in the previous reply.

Thank you very much! It was my mistake. The taxonomy was hierarchical. I turned it flat. You're the best!
