      Hi,

      I am using piklist beta 0.9.9.6

      I am trying to create a field for category so I have followed the instruction as provided in documentation and created a file my-terms-cat.php under themefolder/piklist/parts/terms/
      The code is as follows: – 

      <?php
/*
Title: My Term Metabox
Description: My cool new metabox
Taxonomy: category
Capability: manage_options
Locked: true
New: true
Collapse: true
*/
 
// Let's create a text box field
 piklist('field', array(
   'type' => 'text'
   ,'field' => 'field_name008'
   ,'label' => __('Example Field')
   ,'description' => __('Field Description')
   ,'attributes' => array(
     'class' => 'text'
   )
 ));
 ?>

      But field is not showing during creation of a new category. When I make New: false, it starts showing while editing a category, but what should I do if I want to show it during new category creation? I have attached an image to understand it better.

      Term fields do not show up for new terms. We didn’t implement because the area WordPress leaves doesn’t have enough room for some Piklist fields.

      Hi steve,

      But if you for example look at woocommerce plugin, they provide category thumbnail for there product category during new category creation. Its a wordpress inbuild feature and there is also a simple plugin created for it in wordpress repository https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-category-meta/

      It will be a valuable thing at category term creation, for example suppose we are creating quizes, some quizes will have negative marking and some will have no negative marking, so we can put a check box during quiz creation that should we want to allow negative marking for that particular quiz or not. I know we can do this at edit screen also but it will be a double step of saving that same category.

      Thanks

      Understood. We marked this as a feature request. Will look into it after v1.0 is out.
