Hi @solserpiente,

The conversion of text inputs to pst tags would only work for single value custom fields in which case you would need the following JQuery function for the implementation(it should go to your functions.php file):

<?php 
 
function convert_custom_fields_to_tags(){ ?>
 
  <script type="text/javascript">
    jQuery(document).ready(function($){          
 
        // Create list of custom fields to add as tags on save
        // (e.g. var custom_field_names = ['my_custom_field', 'my_other_custom_field', 'yet_another_custom_field'];)
        var custom_field_names = [];
 
        $('form#post').submit(function(){
            if(custom_field_names.length > 0) {
                var custom_field_values = [];
                $('#postcustom tr[id^="meta-"]').each(function(){
                    var meta_id = $(this).attr('id').substring($(this).attr('id').indexOf('-')).replace('-','');
                    if ($.inArray($(':text[id="meta[' + meta_id + '][key]"]').val(), custom_field_names) !== -1) {
                        custom_field_values.push($('textarea[id="meta[' + meta_id + '][value]"]').val().toLowerCase());
                    }
                });
                var tags = custom_field_values.join(',');
                $('#new-tag-post_tag').val(tags);
            }
        });
 
    });
  </script>
<?php }
add_action('admin_footer', 'convert_custom_fields_to_tags');
 
?>

You would then need to add the custom field names to the custom_field_names array as follows:

var custom_field_names = ['my_custom_field', 'my_other_custom_field'];
