I want to migrate a text field to taxonomy reference field( the Tags one).

I've 1200 nodes having a field "Organization name". Those creating the content are making mistakes like misspelled company names. I'm using the company name in the views to find all related nodes.

This will help those entering can simply choose the company names or if someone has entered IBM for International Business Machines then I can merge those terms when using taxonomy reference field.

Should I go and create a vocabulary, add all existing values as terms in vocabulary then programmatically assign the text field values to the taxonomy reference field? Then delete the text field and change references in the views etc.


Question: lxc-create hangs and finally fails
Answer: Actually juju uses the 'ubuntu-cloud' template to grab an image, the command executed to create the template in my system running trusty is:

lxc-create -n juju-trusty-lxc-template \
  -t ubuntu-cloud \
  -f /var/lib/juju/containers/juju-trusty-lxc-template/lxc.conf \
  -- --debug \
  --userdata /var/lib/juju/containers/juju-trusty-lxc-template/cloud-init \
  --hostid juju-trusty-lxc-template
  -r trusty


I suggest you to run something like that and see what error gives you.
