Tagify not able to autocreate referenced tags with ECK enities

Created on 29 August 2025, 17 days ago

I have an ECK Entity type created and the bundle has a 'tag' field added to it. I turned on 'Create referenced entities fi they don't already exist" for entity field in a entity created using ECK, but if I use tagify as widget on Manage Form Display I am unable to autocreate a tag. If I switch widget back to "Autocomplete (Tags sytle)" I am able to edit content to add tags that don't exist yet in the taxonomy tags.

Since I was using a tag field in an ECK bundle I also repeated experiment with a tag field on Basic Page. Yes can autocreate with widget "Autocomplete (Tags sytle)" and I can autocreate the Tag with "Tagify."

Drupal 11.2, php 8.3, Tagify 1.2.41, user admin

Not sure if it is me or if it is a bug or if I needed to config something else, but at the moment it seems that Tagify may not work with an ECK Entity type referenced field? The work around is to fall back to an Autocomplete widget and set the width of the box more than 60 and use commas to delimit added fields. Tagify is much more PRETTY... but for now I can use tagify on regular content types, not ECK created?
