Webforms and Taxonomy [#211971]

Ok here is my scenario.

I have the Taxonomy module enabled as well as Webform.
I created a vocabulary for Taxonomy and marked it as required and enabled it on the Webform content type.

I then proceed to create a Webform and fill in all the required information, as well as select a required Taxonomy term within the vocabulary I had created.
Then I click to add a component and after returning from the "add a component" screen the taxonomy term I had selected is now unselected and I have to choose it again.

So the problem seems to be after returning from adding a component it doesn't remember your Taxonomy term selection, making it very annoying having to select it every time you add a component.

Ok, I've tried to be as descriptive as possible, any ideas, updates or fixes for this are appreciated.
Thanks!!!

Just ran into the same thing, and was able to work out what appears to be a workable fix. I haven't tested it with taxonomies that accept multiple terms, I suspect it would require some tweaking to handle that. Anyway, here's what solved my problem.

In webform_prepare (in webform.module), under case t('Done'), the $node doesn't get rebuilt with the taxonomy in the structure necessary to be properly recognized. After the line that reads:

$node = (object)$edit;

I added the following lines:

      if (is_array($_POST['node']['taxonomy'])) {
		foreach ($_POST['node']['taxonomy'] as $tid => $vid) {
		  $tax_array = array('tid' => 2, 'vid' => 1);
		  $tax_terms[$tid] = (object) $tax_array;
		}
		$node->taxonomy = $tax_terms;
      }

That being said, for this to work properly with taxonomies that accept multiple terms, the $vid values would have to be nested one more level deep in the array. I suppose you could add a check in the code above if $vid was an array and step through it if that was the case.
