"Sync associated taxonomy with this relationship" field option causing PHP warnings #7477
Description
Description
PHP warnings are raised when saving a post that has a relationship field with the option "Sync associated taxonomy with this relationship" enabled. This option is available only for fields related to taxonomies. The taxonomy sync works as expected, but the log file gets flooded with warnings.

No response
Possible Workaround
In pick.php, the code to handle taxonomy syncing (2047 - 2073) can be moved above handling bi-directional updates (starting at line 1969). Add a return in the outer if statement so that fields related to taxonomies don't continue.
