# adding a single taxonomy save button

 * I have a lot of custom fields and custom taxonomies, when I change a single data
   I click on “save” but this operation can take many seconds or even a minute or
   more, because (I suppose) all the data of the post are re-saved. Is it possible
   to save just a single taxonomy/custom field change? maybe by JS code?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fadding-a-single-taxonomy-save-button%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hi [@sacconi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sacconi/),
 * WordPress’s default behavior is to save the entire post object, including all
   its metadata (custom fields) and associated taxonomies, when you click the “Update”
   or “Save Draft” button.
 * While it’s technically possible to create custom JavaScript to save specific 
   fields without a full post save, it’s not something WordPress supports out of
   the box. It would require a significant amount of custom development to hook 
   into the appropriate WordPress APIs and handle the data submission and processing
   on the server side, potentially bypassing the standard save routines.
 * Such a solution would be outside the scope of typical support provided in these
   forums, as it falls under custom development. If it’s essential to your workflow,
   working with a developer might be the best route.
 * Hope that helps!
