Multiple non-hierarchical custom taxonomies frequently used terms showing up in first selected taxonomy box

Question

I'm using WordPress 4.9.8, and I'm declaring multiple non-hierarchical custom taxonomies to use on a post type called "inventory". The non-hierarchical custom post types use the tag cloud style interface in the Wordpress backend for content editors to categorize inventory. When I click on "Choose from the most used tags" in one of the custom taxonomy boxes it loads the tag cloud as expected. But when I click on "Choose from the most used tags" in a second custom taxonomy box, the tag cloud loads in the first custom taxonomy box. Is there a way to fix this? Or, is there another interface I can use to access the custom taxonomy terms other than the tag cloud? I want to keep the taxonomies non-hierarchical.

Thanks and regards

Answer 1

I found a solution that serves my purposes. I found this plugin (https://wordpress.org/plugins/radio-buttons-for-taxonomies/) that will allow me to use Radio Buttons for taxonomies instead of the tag cloud, so I avoid the bug with the tag cloud by using this interface instead. It only allows posts to be tagged with one term from each taxonomy at a time but that is fine for my case.
