I'm using Solspace tag as a 'subject' field in conjunction with EE's native Channel Form. We have set the field to required using the rules parameter...
rules:FieldYear="required"
If the user doesn't hit enter when inputting a subject tag (or select an existing tag from the list), i.e. it doesn't get added as a tag and just sits in the field as text - the form will not submit. It's basically not counting it as a valid field, as technically there is no tag selected.
Is there any simple way to just convert that text to a tag on submission? Would be really helpful!
Thanks!
(p.s. The reason why we're using the rules parameter is it gives a lot more flexibility, as you can make a field required in a specific form rather than globally across the site)
