Post category fields in CS Forms

[Richardz]

Hello,

I’m having trouble creating a dropdown menu to select a post category (using the post_category field).

I’ve set up a loop provider to display the different categories (with a default option, followed by a dynamic list of options).

The field works fine, but I can’t seem to let the user select the category for the post they’re creating.

I’ve added a post_category meta field with the field from the form in the form actions, but it doesn’t work—the default category is applied to the post the user creates.

Any solutions to share?

Thanks so much in advance :))

Hey @Richardz,

Change the name of the field from “post_category” to “category”:

Kindly let us know how it goes.

I made the change, but the default category is still applied when I create a post and doesn’t take into account my selection in the form.

Hello @Richardz,

Upon further review, I’ve identified that categories and tags require taxonomy mapping—a feature not currently available in CS Forms’ action list. Rest assured, I have notified our Development team and submitted a formal feature request to expedite its implementation.

Please bear with us.
