Entity reference field does not allow the creation of taxonomy terms ending on ")"

Created on 9 January 2015, almost 11 years ago
Updated 28 August 2025, 2 months ago

Problem/Motivation

Using an entity reference field to reference a vocabulary and creating new terms if they don't exist.
Form display settings: "Autocomplete (tags style)" widget

In this case it is not possible to create a new term that ends on a bracket, for example a term such as "Autocomplete (tags style).

It's possible to add such a term to the vocabulary directly, and to reference it once it is created.
