I've read about how to prepopulate the taxonomy field here: https://www.drupal.org/node/228167

On a clean Drupal 7 install (Drupal 7.31) I've installed Prepopulate 7.x-2.0.

Prepopulating the title field works as expected, but I have no luck with taxonomy.

I've verified that there exists a taxonomy vocabulary (named Tags) with a vid=1 in {taxonomy_vocabulary} and that there is a term with the tid=1 in {taxonomy_term_data}.
However, the following URL does not prepopulate the tags taxonomy field:

http://www.example.com/node/add/article?edit[taxonomy][1]=1

There no error message, the taxonomy field ("Tags") is just not prepopulated.

Can anyone show an example URL that works?

I think your solution is in #883980-19: New field formats are necessary in Prepopulate 6.x-2.x.

@Encarte - did you test the syntax suggested in the comment you linked on a clean Drupal 7 install?

I've a taxonomy named "tags".

The following URL does not prepopulate the tags taxonomy field:

http://www.example.com/node/add/page?edit[taxonomy][tags][1]=test

There no error message, the taxonomy field ("Tags") is just not prepopulated.

Can anyone show an example URL that works?

This works for me with taxonomy reference field:

Taxonomy fields with widget type taxonomy autocomplete and termname:
http://www.example.com/node/add/node?edit[field_ch_projekt][und]=termname

<input type="text" name="field_ch_projekt_3[und]" id="edit-field-ch-projekt-3-und">

Taxonomy fields with widget type select list and term ID:
http://www.example.com/node/add/node?edit[field_ch_projekt_2][und]=92

<select name="field_ch_projekt_2[und]" id="edit-field-ch-projekt-2-und">

Taxonomy fields with radios and term ID:
http://www.example.com/node/add/node?edit[field_ch_projekt][und][92]=92

<input type="radio" value="92" name="field_ch_projekt[und]" id="edit-field-ch-projekt-und-92">

Taxonomy fields with checkbox and term name or term ID
http://www.example.com/node/add/node?edit[field_ch_projekt][und][92]=92
http://www.example.com/node/add/node?edit[field_ch_projekt][und][92]=ter...

with multiple term IDs
http://www.example.com/node/add/node??edit[field_ch_projekt][und][92]=92...

<input type="checkbox" checked="checked" value="92" name="field_ch_projekt[und][92]" id="edit-field-ch-projekt-und-92">
<input type="checkbox" checked="checked" value="93" name="field_ch_projekt[und][93]" id="edit-field-ch-projekt-und-93">

Thanks @mk1000!

I have added your instructions to https://www.drupal.org/node/228167/revisions/view/7786483/7968191, proper credits in log message.

I think this is close case.

Taxonomy reference fields doesn't seem to work with 7.x-2.1

I actually with 7.x-2.1 I cannot prepopulate any filed apart from the title. For example:

Standard text field:

<input type="text" id="edit-field-man-hours-und-0-value" name="field_man_hours[und][0][value]" value="0" size="14" maxlength="12" class="form-text">

http://<site>/node/add/<content_type>?edit[field_man_hours][und][0][value]=9

Node reference:

<input type="text" id="edit-field-project-und-0-nid" name="field_project[und][0][nid]" value="" size="60" class="form-text form-autocomplete" autocomplete="OFF" aria-autocomplete="list">

http://<site>/node/add/<content_type>?edit[field_project][und][0][nid]=75

Pimmy, for the node reference try: http://<site>/node/add/<content_type>?field_project=75It seems this is working this way now for node reference.

Thanks Robert, but unfortunately it made no difference. I have also tried many other combinations with no success.

Sorry Pimmy. I think that works because I also have the Entity Reference Prepopulate and the Entity Reference Prepopulate Token modules installed. You might give them a try.

Let's not distract the developer from #2679839: Container elements and their children cannot be prepopulated in the 7.x-2.1 security update release which blocks lot's of fields from getting pre-populated using 7.x-2.1

@robertgarrigos re-opening an old issue is not 'the right way' as it mostly distract developer.

Pimmy commented

I am sorry, but I gave up - Entity Reference might be pre-populating OK, but Node Reference pre-populating isnt working at all for me.

Ended up falling to the Node Reference URL Widget module and it works very nice and straight forward.

@clemens.tolboom I agree. I wasn't aware of that issue.

#11 is correct. I just checked the implementation and that's the reason. #2679839: Container elements and their children cannot be prepopulated in the 7.x-2.1 security update release is the problem behind.

I can confirm that this works - &edit[field_name][und][tid]=tid
