Duplicate Terms in Custom Taxonomies

[mojowill]

You are unable to add duplicate terms with the same slug, this makes sense. However when creating custom taxonomies you should be able to create terms with duplicate slugs as long as they are in a different taxonomy.

For example:

My blog has a tag called WordPress.
I can have a category called WordPress (

I cannot however create a tag called WordPress in my own custom taxonomy "Skills". This is a custom taxonomy setup with hierarchical set to false, like tags.

Would it not make sense to allow this?

Not quite sure what you mean by this:

I cannot however create a tag called WordPress in my own custom taxonomy "Skills".

Regardless, this is probably a duplicate of #5809.

Replying to johnbillion:

I was referring to not being able to duplicate terms in separate taxonomies. I'm happy to close and watch #5809 to see if that patch works.
