feeds 8.x-3.0-alpha9

Bugfix for autocreating terms

This releases contains a fix for a bug, introduced in 8.x-3.0-alpha7, that could result into imported taxonomy terms not being editable in the UI. Specifically it's about terms imported in the default language, via a taxonomy reference field and using the "autocreate" option.

If you experienced this issue, this are some ways to recover from it (apply only one):

• Programmatically set the langcode on the term:
  

  $term = \Drupal\taxonomy\Entity\Term::load($term_id);
  $term->langcode->value = 'en';
  $term->save();
  

• Adjust the langcode value in the database in the following tables:
  • taxonomy_term_field_data
  • taxonomy_term_revision
  • taxonomy_term_field_revision
• Delete the term (and reimport it).
