    Hi,

    Just starting to create a blog site where we want people to offer submissions around electric powered boats of all brands and types but also all brands of electric outboards and inboards etc.

    it would be useful for them to be able to assign it to both a boat category and also a motor category for example – when I tried adding a second category Taxonomies option it said “it “Oops you already have this field in the form”.

    Is there a way around this at all?

    I guess people can use the Tags for the motors perhaps but this won’t be particularly great when searching I think.

    Hi @qpalzm123,

    I understand your requirement. The ‘Oops’ message appears because WP User Frontend doesn’t allow the same taxonomy field (like the default ‘Category’) to be added twice in one form.

    Here are two ways to solve this:

    1. Best Way (Separate Dropdowns): Create two separate Custom Taxonomies (e.g., ‘Boat Type’ and ‘Motor Type’) using a plugin like CPT UI. Once created, these will appear as separate fields in the WPUF Form Builder, and you can add both to your form.
    2. Quick Fix (Single Field): Use a single ‘Category’ field but change the Selection Type to Checkbox or Multi-select in the field settings. This way, users can select both a boat category and a motor category from the same list.

    I would recommend the first option for a better search experience later on!
