// Add a filter to modify the post metadata keys.
add_filter('wordpress_print_posts_meta_keys', function($tmp) {

    global $post; // Access the global post object.

    // Define an array of taxonomy slugs to process.
    $taxonomies = array(
        'vehica_6659'
    );

    // Iterate through each taxonomy.
    foreach($taxonomies as $taxonomy) {

        // Get terms associated with the current post and taxonomy.
        $terms = wp_get_object_terms($post->ID, $taxonomy);

        // Check if any terms are associated.
        if(!empty($terms)){

            // Retrieve the full taxonomy object.
            $taxonomy = get_taxonomy($taxonomy);

            // Initialize an array to store term names.
            $termNames = array();
            foreach($terms as $term){
                // Skip if the term name is not set or is empty.
                if(!isset($term->name) || empty($term->name)) {
                    continue;
                }
                // Add the term name to the array.
                $termNames[] = $term->name;
            }

            // Add a new array to $tmp with taxonomy label and term names.
            $tmp[] = array(
                'key' =>  $taxonomy->label,
                'before' => $taxonomy->label . ': ',
                'value' => implode(',', $termNames), // Combine term names into a string.
            );
        }
    }

    // Return the modified array.
    return $tmp;

});
