Haven't tried yet but I'm curious if entity reference fields would work with Workbench Access sections using taxonomy terms by filtering only those terms the user has access to?

It looks like in D8 they are going to try to replace the taxonomy term fields with entity reference fields. See #1801304: Add Entity reference field

Entity Reference fields have a checkbox that allows users to auto create terms when using an entity reference field that has autocomplete. Taxonomy module lacks that feature.

If this module is supported, the Entity Reference module then might help with this issue #1653096: PHP notices when saving nodes.

In that issue terms are able to be created without the user having access to add the terms which causes the PHP notice, I think.

In theory, it might work by changing the data sent to workbench_access_get_assigned_fields(), but I suspect we'd need an entirely new plugin/handler for the data type.

This is exactly how it works in Drupal 8, but those changes are not getting backported to Drupal 7.

Please notice the _age_ of all the requests you commented on yesterday.
