In a node edit/add form, I need to show a field with dropdown/select list options (Cardinality unlimited). I do not want all the taxonomy terms of that vocabulary to appear. I want to show certain terms. The vocabulary has 2 level hierarchy. First dropdown in the form element shows only parent terms. On selecting parent term from the dropdown, certain child elements should show in the second dropdown.

  • i think there is no module for such feature, you should do it in custom code, by implementing hook_form_alter or hook_form_FORM_ID_alter

  • 1) Hook form alter is not working for altering options for widget. Hook form alter does not work because these options are again rebuild after the form is altered. 2) hook_field_widget_form_alter is not altering the options.

You seem to be asking 2 questions here:

  • Restricting Terms: You can edit the entity reference field's Reference method to use a new custom view that filters only the criteria you're looking for.
  • Parent/Child Widget: The Hierarchical Select did have this widget functionality in D7, in D8 there are a few modules out there, like Simple hierarchical select & Client-side hierarchical select, that have similar dual-selection functionality.

  • These both "Restricting Terms" and "Parent/Child Widget:" do not work simutaneously. Simple hierarchical select and Client side hierarchical select are not working when I am using with views entity reference. Either restricting term functionality work OR the parent child.
