Support for Custom taxonomies autocomplete in inline/bulk edit forms

[shadyvb]

Currently only Tags are using autocomplete in inline/bulk edit screens, custom taxonomies can use the same flow to enable autocomplete for them as well.

This has been proposed in https://core.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/13535 in response to https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/9674 but seems to not have been merged ( 7 years old patch ).

Patch to enable autocomplete for custom taxes in inline/bulk edit forms

Another patch to enable autocomplete for custom taxos for all post types in inline/bulk edit forms

[shadyvb]

Sorry, briefly misunderstood the type argument, the second patch is not really needed, the first one works pretty fine with custom post types.

It seems to me that this was already solved in r38797.

@shadyvb could you please check if that's the case?

Thanks @jubstuff yep, the old jQuery suggest has been replaced in WordPress 4.7 with a custom implementation of jQuery UI autocomplete, which is also accessible, and works for any non-hierarchical taxonomy. @shadyvb please see in the screenshot below, where it's working for a "Project type" taxonomy.

I think this can be closed, unless I'm missing something :)
