 When adding a taxonomy for attachments you only get a basic input field in
 the modal views, like in a post or when using the grid view on the
 attachment page:

 [[Image(https://s3.amazonaws.com/f.cl.ly/items/2T2n3k2014362w402z2P/Image%202015-10-16%20at%201.36.39%20PM.png)]]

 Someone in the forums [pointed out](https://wordpress.org/support/topic
 /tags-picker-for-attachments?replies=3) that this is because the modal
 view is only for editing the image, and not the attachment post it belongs
 to. This makes sense when editing a post, but not in the grid view on the
 attachments page.

 The only way to edit tags and categories in the normal way is to press
 "Edit more details", where you get the proper tags/category pickers. I
 feel like we should either remove or improve the basic input field. It
 doesn't really make sense to have a stripped down version in the modal.
 It's confusing and not very good UX.
