Drupal dynamic Taxonomy term values

Question

I'm new to Drupal, and somehow miss a feature. (or I guess just don't know how to activate it) Let's say I have a content type which is using the term reference (taxonomy field type) Is it possible to have it filled dynamically (e.g. with already existing content from my site?

I don't want to type in all possible Tag/Term options, but instead want some kind of dynamic category choice for an author, e.g. feeded by existing content (articles/pages) from the drupal site itself.

Is there a certain module I need or how is it done?

Answer 1

If you want to add to your nodes a reference to another node in your site you need to use a node reference field and not a term reference. To be able to add that kind of field to your content type, you need to install References module, and probably Views to show pages that leverage your references. If you provide some details of your requirements I can be more specific.
