 * Hi Scribu,
 * I can’t save the terms by editing the field of a custom taxonomy. Here is the
   code in the template : `<?php the_terms( $post->ID, 'action', '', ', ', ' ' );?
   >`
 * I can edit the field, enter or change the terms, but when i try to save, it doesn’t
   work. Strange thing, doing that, the “empty” word is changing into “vide” (french
   for empty).
 * No problem with the other fields so far.
 * I just tried Taxonomy drill-down … Quite a good idea ! I was looking for a way
   to dynamically use custom taxonomies, your plugin is perfect for that !
    Bravo!

 * Ok, I’m answering to myself …
    I faced the same problem [this user described a while ago](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-front-end-editor-editing-a-hierarchical-custom-taxonomy?replies=2).
 * There is a problem with the hierarchical parameter of custom taxonomies. I changed
   hierarchical from “true” to “false” :
 *     ```
       function build_taxonomies() {
       register_taxonomy( 'action', 'post', array( 'hierarchical' => false, 'label' => 'Action', 'query_var' => true, 'rewrite' => true ) );
       }
       ```
   
 * and my problem was solved. I can now save my terms after editing.
