Hey,

My setup: I have a HS field of vocab "equipment" and parent "knife".

Equipment
-type
--knife
---Manufacturer1
----knifename1
----knifename2
---Manufacturer2
----knifename3
----knifename4

I have my HS settings so I can create new terms and new levels.

When I use HS when creating a node, I see only (which works right):


Manufacturer1

--knifename1
--knifename2
Manufacturer2

--knifename3
----knifename4

When I click the first 'create new item' so as to add a manufacturer, it adds the new term with parent root rather than parent knife. So if I was to add 'manufacturer3'... it would look like this (which is wrong):

Equipment
-Manufacturer3
-type
--knife
---Manufacturer1
----knifename1
----knifename2
---Manufacturer2
----knifename3
----knifename4

Same issue. I set Parent Term to Apples and when I create a new term it saves to the root Fruit. Keep in mind I was only about to save by clicking the root box.

Confirm issue here. Trying to debug.

Additionally, if I edit any term with a parent and save it the parent information is discarded completely and it ends up under root.

Title: Adding new terms in parent adds them to root instead » Updating or creating terms loses parentage information.

Confirming data loss and issues seem to be related to the same thing. Please forgive if they arent but didnt want to create a dupe on you.

This seems to happen form the term editing screen or form creating the term on the node live. Marking critical as it is a data loss scenario. Again please forgive and reclassify if you disagree.

I can't reproduce this problem: parent information is being maintained correctly for me. Both when using core Taxonomy and Content Taxonomy.

Can you reproduce this on a vanilla Drupal site? If you cannot, keep on adding modules that you're using on your actual site until the problem is reproduced.

When you're able to reproduce this (on a vanilla Drupal site with the minimum number of modules to reproduce it), then please make a screencast of:

  1. your site configuration
  2. the problem being reproduced

That makes it easier for me to reproduce the problem. Thanks!

P.S.: don't have any screencast software yet? On Windows and Mac OS X, you can use the free Jing.
