I am confused about how a taggable relationship field is supposed to work. I am creating an index of publications listing various articles, many of which have the same authors. So I wanted to create an author field that I could select from as needed, but also add to whenever there is a new author.
I set this up as “Simple (Custom Defined List)” with additional field options:
Selection Type: Multiple Select
Format: Autocomplete
Taggable: checked
However, when I am entering a new post and enter a new name into the author field, although the name will display in the field after I enter it, it is not saved.
I finally gave up. It seems the only way I can get authors to display properly is by manually editing the pod to enter them in the Custom Defined Options field.
But I am not sure whether there is something wrong in the way I have configured things; or a bug; or if this is expected behavior. So I would appreciate some clarification.
