Hi,

These are my first steps with drupal.

I have created a taxonomy hierarchy for my articles and now I am trying to add a new field to the content type "Article" and "Media" so the content admin can assign a "category" to his new content.

So I've been to Structure > Content Types > Article > Manage Fields
Then "Add new field" with :
1- Label = Category
2- Name = "field_category
3- Field = "Term reference"
4- Automatically changes to "Select list" but I am unable to see the drop down list options. Clicking the list doesn't do anything, I couldn't select Autocomplete or any other value I've seen on forums & tutorials. Using firebug I could see the options are there, but the list doesn't show up.

Any idea why is this happening ?

I'm getting the exact same problem across multiple sites. I don't seem to be able to add a new field to an existing content type. Keep getting this error:

Add new field: you need to select a widget.

Are you using jquery update or jquery 1.7 by chance?

Same here. Field selector is enabled, and I select a row (does not matter which). Widget selector is disabled, but some value is automatically shown based on the other selector. I click save, get the same "you need to select a widget" error. Yes, I am using jquery 1.7 ...

On admin/config/development/jquery_update I had jquery version 1.7, Development (uncompressed) and CDN google.

I changed jquery version to 1.5, then saved configuration. After selecting a field, the widget selector was no longer disabled. I selected a row, then saved. No error.

I imagine the problem is that although the widget selector shows a value, the row was not actually selected by the jquery. So, although it appeared the required value was there, it was not. Therefore when the save was clicked one receives the "missing field" error.

This should be an easy fix for whoever the maintainer is of jquery_update ...
