Sorry, I don’t recall. I thought I could get something going quickly with ACF but had to scrap it all because I needed a solution that day.
I was trying to do exactly what the screenshots on this page (http://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/field-types/taxonomy/) except on a taxonomy.
Perhaps I misunderstood or maybe the docs for taxonomy field can be updated.
Thanks guys
Unrelated: I just noticed that you can’t add a link through this editor. Weird.
