I have created a piklist field to add custom taxonomy to a custom post type

piklist('field', array(
        'type' => 'select'
        ,'field' => 'location_country'
		,'label' => 'Country'
		,'choices' => piklist(
		  get_terms('location-country', array(
			'hide_empty' => false
		  ))
		  ,array(
			'term_id'
			,'name'
		  )
		)
      ));

The problem is that I can update the post’s taxonomy field on the quick edit, and that works perfectly. However when I select the taxonomy in my dropdown inside, it is not actually assigning the post to that particular term. Did I create the select field wrong that it is not saving correctly?

I didn’t notice at first until I tried running a wp_query for each particular term. Only the ones that I set the taxonomy through the quick_edit appeared. All of the posts that I went into the post and select the dropdown, did not appear. The dropdowns do retain their value, so it is saving the value somewhere, just not as a term.
