Import nodes from CSV file - issue with numeric taxonomy fields [#1320810]

When importing a csv file into a standalone form, all mapped fields with alphanumeric data import into correct fields, whether the fields are taxonomy or data fields, but if the mapped fields are only numeric, these fields only import into the data fields, the taxonomy fields are left empty.

To test if the mappings were correct, I added text to these fields and all imported correctly.

Is there an way of tagging this numeric data as text, so this data can be imported to the taxonomy field?

I think the patch in this issue resolves your problem: #1019688: Taxonomy mapper options: term name +tid, term name, tid, guid (avoids mapping error for Numeric taxonomy term, too)

Having checked out the patch you refer to #1019688: Split taxonomy mapper in two variants: term name +tid (avoids mapping error for Numeric taxonomy term, too) against the code in the taxonomy.inc file on my site, there are differences:
As you can see the line:

'name' => check_plain($instance['label']),
'callback' => 'taxonomy_feeds_set_target',

is different to the patch:

-        'name' => $instance['label'],
-        'callback' => 'taxonomy_feeds_set_target',
+        'name' => $instance['label'] . ': Term name',
+        'callback' => 'taxonomy_feeds_set_target_name',

/**
 * Implements hook_feeds_processor_targets_alter().
 */
function taxonomy_feeds_processor_targets_alter(&$targets, $entity_type, $bundle_name) {
  foreach (field_info_instances($entity_type, $bundle_name) as $name => $instance) {
    $info = field_info_field($name);
    if ($info['type'] == 'taxonomy_term_reference') {
      $targets[$name] = array(
        'name' => check_plain($instance['label']),
        'callback' => 'taxonomy_feeds_set_target',
        'description' => t('The @label field of the node.', array('@label' => $instance['label'])),
      );
    }
  }
}

So the file that ships with the latest feeds module is not the same as the one in the patch link you referenced in your post.

Because of this difference, I did not patch my taxonomy.inc file, and the issue of importing numeric data into a free tagging taxonomy field within a node import is still a problem.

As stated in my original post, numeric data, eg. 1, 2, 200, etc. dose not import into a:

field :Term reference, with
Widget : Autocomplete term widget (tagging),

and when I list terms on the taxonomy page, the page is empty, but if I add any text to the number e.g. t1, t2, t200 etc. then these values are imported.

Indeed, the patch is outdated, but still valid. You can try applying the patch by hand. The result will be:

-        'name' => check_plain($instance['label']),
-        'callback' => 'taxonomy_feeds_set_target',
+        'name' => check_plain($instance['label'] . ': Term name'),
+        'callback' => 'taxonomy_feeds_set_target_name',
