Comment:

 As Otto has said countless times, terms are just a convenient name for a
 group of posts in a taxonomy, which is a named set of groups. They're not
 meant to hold any data of their own.

 If you find yourself needing to add additional fields to terms, you should
 actually make them posts and link them to other posts. See #14513

 In other words, post-to-post relationships is the more appropriate
 solution.
