Custom category taxonomy only display values
-
I have a custom post type with a custom category taxonomy set up. I can select the taxonomy under advanced in GF and it populates the choices in the radio buttons – but the values show up as the category ID number. Any time I try and change the value and update the form, it reverts back. When I test the form, it creates a new category using the ID number and doesn’t assign the post to the correct category.
I’m using the latest version of GF and also using the Post Creation add. In the Post Creation set up, I have the Field Value set to the Category field.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

@mezzaninegold Yes, in both I use those default fields. But also I’m using other type of fields in both.
Hi all,
I looked into this, it looks like the Advanced Post Creation add-on expects a term name rather than a term ID.
This plugin is designed to only provide a term ID as the value. We’re not planning on adding direct support for the Advanced Post Creation add-on at this time, but we do have a robust plugin called Populate Anything that you can use to populate field choices with Taxonomy Terms. Best of all, you can customize exactly what is used in the choice value and choice label.
Also worth noting: when populating choices with this plugin (Gravity Forms + Custom Post Types), the choices will be reset to the taxonomy terms whenever you save the form.
