In this snippet, we will show you how to use the built-in Tags field to create a WordPress post using a non hierarchical custom taxonomy.

IMPORTANT: wp_insert_post() WordPress core function, used to create the post, checks the user』s capabilities before adding custom taxonomies. Therefore the above snippet will work only if the user is logged in and have the capability defined in assign_terms of your custom taxonomy definition.
If you need to set the custom taxonomy for not logged visitors, then you would need to use gform_after_submission hook to get the post_id from the entry object and update the post terms using wp_set_object_terms WP core function.
