bcworkz,

Thank you so much for this detailed answer !! It really helps a lot !
I’ll preciously keep your post as it contains very important guidelines.

Following your advice, I will then go for a taxonomy and metaboxes. I’ve created them this morning and it is working like a charm. I’ve also found out why the taxonomy was displayed as free text and not listbox. It is because of the hierarchical setting. I will then work on the returned HTML to display the fields for the chosen taxonomy only. Regarding your question about “But if a term is not yet assigned, how would the box know what to display?”, the intend is to add items by an admin in order to control our catalog.

The goal is also to import this data from CSV. I need to check if this is possible and how to do it when data is stored in custom posts, post meta and taxonomy terms. Not really sure how to handle this one.

Would you know if displaying all fields (built-in title + fields from the metabox + taxonomy) is feasible in the same page, so just a list of fields not enclosed in different boxes. I will also need to limit the taxonomy to 1 item only.

Thanks again for this quick and valuable answer !
