Changes are made on on 11.x (our main development branch) first, and are then back ported as needed according to the Core change policies → .
When creating a new term, the parent field references a taxonomy term with ID 0 (which doesn't exist). It's also saved to the database like this.
\Drupal\taxonomy\TermStorage::create() apparently does this, for undocumented reasons.
/**
* {@inheritdoc}
*
* @param array $values
* An array of values to set, keyed by property name. A value for the
* vocabulary ID ('vid') is required.
*/
public function create(array $values = []) {
// Save new terms with no parents by default.
if (empty($values['parent'])) {
$values['parent'] = [0];
}
$entity = parent::create($values);
return $entity;
}
$term = \Drupal::entityTypeManager()->getStorage('taxonomy_term')->create(['vid' => 'tags']);
$term->get('parent')->isEmpty(); // returns FALSE
$term->get('parent')->getValue(); // returns [['target_id' => 0]]
If there's no reason for doing this, let's remove this code.
If there is a reason for doing this, I think it's appropriate to document this (preferably in the code).
