Cool questions – and here are my answers:
1 – the settings are still saved. The CPT UI still shows the taxonomies correctly registered. And when I look at the list of (past) custom types, the columns show me the right data in the right columns for the custom taxonomies. This tells me the data is there in the database and is correct.
2 – I don’t know how to create terms without the editor screen. I haven’t tried this.
3 – In previous post types, the custom taxonomies do not appear so I cannot change the fields. Example: For an eatery (custom post type), I set up the “Cuisine” (Custom taxonomy) so a restaurant can be tagged as “Indian” or “Sushi”. For old post types, the custom taxonomy does not appear in edit mode but it displays correctly on the web (see link in my previous comment).
4 – I did not change the capability type. Haven’t messed around with the CPT UI settings lately as I haven’t needed to.
5 – CPT UI > Tools data is: POSTS:

I tried disabling the plugin and re-enabling it but that simple reboot didn’t have any effect.
