Drupal 8.x
Synonyms 8.x

It would be helpful to have a synonym friendly autocomplete widget that allows users to AUTOCREATE TERMS.

Thanks for providing the synoyms module!

It's not currently possible to add new terms to a vocabulary using a synonyms-friendly widget (autocomplete or select) on a node form that references the taxonomy vocabulary, but it would be REALLY useful to have this feature!

Related to this, if you save a synonyms autocomplete field with a value that isn't selected from the autocomplete list, it adds the first value from the query rather than throwing a validation error: #3377834: Synonyms autocomplete field does not fail if unknown value entered

I'd categorize this as a bug as no indication is given that it does not adhere to the field's configuration to create values that are not listed.

FYI I worked out a fix in #3377834: Synonyms autocomplete field does not fail if unknown value entered for the bug that allows the widget to save if values have been added that are not recognized.

I'll try to work on time for this issue soon.

For some reason, I didn't know about this module until recently. And.. yeah.. It's a great module!

I found this issue with #3377834: Synonyms autocomplete field does not fail if unknown value entered. The requirement I am facing is to be able to create custom content entities (not terms) and support synonyms at the same time. Or, in short, respect the setting of the entity reference handler.
