Select only X level terms, but show all

  • I was wondering if it is possible to somehow make that use wont be able to select parenting terms? For example if I have hierarchical terms, so that I could say “dont allow selecting 1st level terms, but show them as headings”. Then using Select type user would see hierarchical representation with parenting terms bolded, but disabled for selection.

    Hello,

    Thanks for the feedback!

    Unfortunately this is not possible out of the box in ACF/ACFE. You can implement your own custom ACF Select field tho, and inject custom choices (terms) with your hierarchy using acf/load_field or acf/prepare_field.

    Here is an example with a simple ACF Select field and Parent/Child options tree. You’ll have to replace choices with your terms using get_terms() (see documentation):

    add_filter('acf/prepare_field/name=my_terms', 'my_acf_select_terms');
function my_acf_select_terms($field){
    
    // add parent/child select options
    $field['choices'] = array(
        'Parent' => array(
            'child1' => 'Child 1',
            'child2' => 'Child 2',
        ),
        'Parent2' => array(
            'child3' => 'Child 3',
            'child4' => 'Child 4',
        ),
    );
    
    
    // return
    return $field;

}

    Hope it helps!

    Have a nice day!

    Regards.
