When a term is added to the vocbulary via the simple news module it appears in the terms list but
Simplenews ignores any of the terms created by the taxonomy module for the same vocabulary. They do not appear as "categories" in the simplenews gui
Simplenews does not list any of the terms in a chosen vocabulary when editing a newsletter category in the GUI.
The simplenews GUI should say what Vocabulary to which it is adding a "category".

berdirYes, that's the way it currently is.
Note:
- The vocabulary/field settings have actually been removed in the -dev snapshot because changing it isn't going to work anyway
- The goal is to go away from using taxonomy terms and instead define a custom entity. See #1309404: Convert Newsletter categories to custom entity. That will however probably not happen in the 7.x-1.x unless someone will push that forward by implementing it.
A way to fix this would be to implement the necessary term hooks and automatically create the simplenews category but in general, I'd recommand against creating terms directly anway, why do you need this?
Comment #2
carlmcdade commentedIt's a general usability accomodation so that the user only needs to be in one interface for things that are based in taxonomy. It's sometimes difficult to remember to go to a different UI when the 5 sites you have administered before use the same interface.

amonteroDue to having the same issue, I disbled editing simplenews taxonomy terms.
To check access to categories administration I have a working patch to #794180: Add 'administer simplenews categories' permission separate of 'administer newsletters'.
Patch works
but there is only one test failing. I would be thankful if someone interested can help.Comment #4
amonteroBumping update: the above mentioned issue is working but still needs review, FWIW here.
