 * Hi,
 * I am wondering if your plugin can support, or already supports the ability to
   have a list of “Mandatory” terms. Alternatively a WP filter where I could add“
   Mandatory” terms.
 * For example
 * A site has 100k+ tags, in those tags resides ‘news’, ‘opinion’, ‘article’.
    I
   would like to force the required taxonomy(this example post_tag) to always include
   one of these mandatory, regardless of any other tag selected.
 * This would require either;
    A) an extra field for each taxonomy that’s selected
   as “required”. Within that field would have to be a search-based multiselect 
   that leverages Ajax, some sites I work on have over 100k+ tags. B) A WP Filter,
   where you can filter the “Mandatory” terms programmatically.
 * Thanks
 * Anthony

 * Hi Anthony.
 * That’s not possible. This plugin only allows you to ask the user to select at
   least one term, but it’s not possible to ask them to select specific terms, and
   it doesn’t have hooks for that.
