I have a taxonomy called Countries and it is populated with 5 Countries. I'm using Gravity Forms to populate my custom post and one of the fields in the form is the Countries drop down listing those 5 countries as choices.
How do I set up Gravity Forms so it will let a user add a NEW Country that is not one of the choices in the dropdown already? and at the same time update the taxonomy so next time someone fills out the form it will now have 6 countries and so on....
thanks

I'm interested in this as well. Srage, I believe you can do what you're looking for by using the Gravity forms + Custom post types plugin...there's a section that allows you to (from the plugin's website) "You can also link a Single Line Text field to a taxonomy, so it can be used to input existing and new taxonomy terms."
Not sure if that's what you're looking for or not, but it sounds like it might be if your taxonomies are NOT hierarchical.
The problem I'm having is it doesn't work with hierarchical. Does anyone know of a way to make this work with hierarchical taxonomies? I'm new to GF, so I'm sorry if I'm not getting this right, but would appreciate any help, or even an explanation of why it won't work with hierarchical taxonomies.
thanks!

No, that did not work.
The problem is my taxonomy is populated via Drop Down, the above suggestion would only work with single line taxonomy.
So my question is still outstanding and honestly I'm disappointed that no one from Gravity Forms support responded considering that I paid for developer license.
I'll have to look into it, but off the top of my head, I am not sure how to accomplish this.
Also, we get hundreds of questions every single day, and up until recently, the majority of the team was focused on developing bug fixes and new features. I'm sorry about the delay but we really do try our best to answer as many questions as possible.
