JetEngine: Taxonomies in select/checkbox/radio meta fields #3553

Open petranca opened 3 years ago

If you want to link a post to an "external" taxonomy e.g. from Woocommerce, it is currently only possible to do this with a manual entry of the ID. However, this does not automatically add newly created taxonomies to the post. You always have to add them again manually, e.g. in the glossary.

But it would be a great feature if there would be a possibility to select taxonomies in Select/Checkbox/Radio.

So if one of the three metabox types is selected, a switch (like for glossary) could be available for taxonomies. When activated, a multiselect box appears where the different taxonomies can be added.

In this way the "external" taxonomy ID would be automatically added to the post and can be linked to e.g. an archive page.

+1 for this! This is a true must-have, since it will allow to target taxonomy metaboxes from the front-end (p.ex. with forms) and also - to declutter the WooCommerce product back-end, since the JetEngine Metabox Tabs can be used to alter the native wordpress way to display taxonomies. This will also help to achieve feature parity with ACF. Hope somebody from Croco is reading the comments here on GitHub ❤️
