JetFormBuilder Hierarchical Select

A standard select field can make a deep category structure hard to navigate. This add-on links parent and child terms in hierarchical taxonomies, revealing child options in relation to the parent selection. It suits forms where accurate categorization matters, such as post submission or editing forms, classified listings, product catalogs, and job applications.

Add the Hierarchical Select block in the JetFormBuilder form editor and configure how each field guides the person filling out the form. You can choose which term property supplies the field value, set a default selection, and control when child fields appear or become available. Terms can also be added through form inputs, and submitted values can update taxonomy terms.

Features

• Cascading term choices: Show child taxonomy terms based on the parent term selected, creating a connected sequence of choices for multi-level categories.
• Hierarchical taxonomies: Use parent-child term relationships from hierarchical taxonomies in JetFormBuilder forms.
• Inline term entry: Allow users to add new taxonomy terms through form inputs, so terms can be added as part of form entry.
• Choose term values: Set the value source to a term ID, name, slug, or meta field to suit the form's data needs.
• Control child fields: Show, hide, or disable child dropdowns until a parent term is selected to guide the selection order.
• Set labels and defaults: Edit field labels and descriptions, and configure default selections to provide context and prefill a choice.
