So I followed the tutorial to set up a selection box that has my custom taxonomy values, but its not appearing for some reason. The taxonomy is Project Status and the options I added are Open and Close.

Here is the code used to create the taxonomy and hide the original metabox

//Create Project Status Taxonomy
add_filter('piklist_taxonomies', 'project_status');
  function project_status($taxonomies) {
     $taxonomies[] = array(
        'post_type' => 'mro_project'
        ,'name' => 'project_status'
        ,'show_admin_column' => true
        ,'configuration' => array(
          'hierarchical' => true
          ,'labels' => piklist('taxonomy_labels', 'Project State')
          ,'hide_meta_box' => true
          ,'show_ui' => true
          ,'query_var' => true
          ,'rewrite' => array(
            'slug' => 'project-status'
          )
        )
      );
    return $taxonomies;
  }

Here is what is in the file for the selection/dropdown version that is not appearing. This is the only thing in the php file, exactly as is and is located in parts/terms.

piklist('field', array(
  'type' => 'select'
  ,'scope' => 'taxonomy'
  ,'field' => 'project_status'
  ,'label' => 'Project Status'
  ,'description' => 'Change status of project based on amount of people registered'
  ,'choices' => array(
      '' => 'Open'
    )
    + piklist(get_terms(array(
      'taxonomy' => 'project_status'
      ,'hide_empty' => false
    ))
    ,array(
      'term_id'
      ,'name'
    )
  )
));
