    This issue is on a site that’s currently in development. I’ve created a form who’s sole function is to save the form data as a post. It does save successfully in all areas but one. The categories function is not accepting the parameters in the form I’m entering them. I’ve tried multiple ways of entering the parameters including space separated and comma separated (see below).

    TL;DR
    Taxonomies Category does not accept multiple parameters.
    I require that the Category field take in 3 parameters. Does the Processors’ Category field accept multiple parameters? If so, What is the correct syntax to include multiple parameters?

    I’ve tried the following formats with varying levels of success

    %field_name% | successfully writes the accepted parameter
    category-name | successfully writes the accepted parameter

    • %field_name%, category-name | Fails, no category is applied
    • %field_name% category-name | Fails, the ‘Uncategorized’ category is applied
    • %field_name%category-name | Fails, no category is applied
    • %field_name%%category-name% | Fails, no category is applied

    @spacemanperez –

    Thanks for using Caldera Forms. The way you are setting this up is not how it is designed to work. You can either add a field’s magic tag or 1 category (slug or ID) for it to use or a comma separated list of category IDs or slugs). Using a magic tag and a categroy slug isn’t going to work.

    What would work is:

    • %field_slug%
    • category-slug
    • 1,2,3

    If you need help working around this, please open a support ticket at https://calderaforms.com/support and we will respond within 1 business day.
