Unexpected behavior with taxonomy terms

Hi,

I'm using inline entity form to relate/create child entities on a parent entity.
I'm using the default "Tags" taxonomy field and default editing form for Tags.

When I create new nodes using the inline_entity_form and add new taxonomy terms, these taxonomy terms are not "created" or "published" until I save and publish the parent node.

Example use case:

I have a parent entity "author" and child entity "books"
I'm using taxonomy for "genre".

when I'm editing the parent "author" and adding "books" inline as children, I add the "horror" (a new term) genre to 3 different child nodes I created inline. Those terms are not created until I save the parent "author" node. At that time, 3 separate taxonomy terms for "horror" are created.

Thank you for your attention to this.

    This sounds like the correct behavior. The child nodes don't get saved until the parent does. And the tags wouldn't be saved until the child node is saved. There are other open issues for changing the behavior of saving child entities, if you want to contribute to those.
