Is it possible to add conditional logic to “job type” multi-select dropdown fiel

If anyone interested I edited wp dropdown categories which outputs job_types and used field editor action_hook_field. After that I was able to accomplish what I wanted

Hi there. Can you elaborate and maybe share some example(s)?

Many thanks.

First I created action hook field type using field editor ( https://plugins.smyl.es/docs-kb/wordpress-action-hook-field-type/?v=f0aa03aaca95 ). Also I show this field based on selected package where I want to filter job-type dropdown and placed it first in the submission form.

In the functions file

I have action hook field I created before. When action hook is present it will activate my filter function and remove job type from dropdown.

add_action('job_manager_field_actionhook_job_education_action', 'job_package_education');

function job_package_education(){
		add_filter( 'job_manager_term_multiselect_field_args', 'set_tax_dropdown_list_education' );
}

This function will remove selected job_types from dropdown. ( https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Function_Reference/wp_dropdown_categories ).

function set_tax_dropdown_list_education( $args ){
	
	$taxonomy = $args['taxonomy'];
	
	switch ($taxonomy){
		// taxonomy here
		case 'job_listing_type':			
			$args['exclude'] = 'taxonomyID'; //remove from dropdown list							
			break;		
	}	
	return $args;
}

Hopefully my explanation is understandable
