Hello,

Is that true? At the same time taxonomy_advanced fields are clonable, but I can't set taxonomies to the posts with these. I also noticed that someone here had made a workaround code (save_post) but I can't get it from the Pastebin anymore.

PS. I use older MB Builder version since the newest one doesn't work with the hierarchical taxonomies at all.

Yes, it's true. Taxonomy field when saving will set the post terms. So, it can't be cloned. Only the taxonomy advanced field, where the term IDs are saved, can be cloned.

OK, but can you tell me how to solve the problem if I have a hierarchical taxonomy field with select tree and I want to set several terms (together with the children) to the post?

If you have to clone the field, then the only solution is using taxonomy_advanced field.

Yeah, but taxonomy_advanced doesn't set the terms:(

I'm still just curious if there is a workaround to set terms with taxonomy_advanced field?

Yes, that can be done with this filter:

https://docs.metabox.io/actions/#rwmb_field_id_after_save_field
```
add_action( 'rwmb_YOUR_FIELD_ID_after_save_field', function( $null, $field, $new, $old, $object_id ) {
    $term_ids = $new;
    if ( $field['clone'] ) {
        $term_ids = [];
        foreach ( $new as $clone_value ) {
            $term_ids = array_merge( $term_ids, $clone_value );
        }
    }
    wp_set_post_terms( $object_id, $term_ids, 'YOUR_TAXONOMY' );
}, 10, 5 );
```

strange, but it doesn't work. If I activate this, I can't set any other taxonomy's terms either.
