How to associate existing nodes with taxonomy nodes?

Issue Summary

Existing nodes that were not created by TN are duplicated when a term is entered in a vocabulary. Is there anyway to associate TN with previously existing nodes so that I do not lose all of the data in those nodes? I am struggling with what to do. Either I have to delete the original node and all content is wiped out. Or I have to delete the TN created node which will just get created again the next the term is added. The other alternative is to not use TN at all which I don't prefer because I find it to be a very useful module. However, I have many nodes already existing before I found and tried to use this module. What can I do??? Thanks. Kevin

Exactly. Big problem. I used this module to batch create a lot of nodes, based on the taxonomy, but maintenance is very iffy!

Sorry to get to this one a bit late.

@iteego: you probably got over this one in some other way, but there was a manual way to attaching existing nodes to terms. On beta2, however, I have added a way to do this via the interface. When you edit a term that is not associated, you get the option to create a new one or choose an existent (not already associated) one from the db.

@shunting: Maybe this helps you as well? Suggestion to improve the interface are welcomed.
