Hi.

I am using the Classifieds reference site.

We want to create the 42 prefectures (states) of Japan as locations and have them available in English/Japanese.
In other words, rather than have a flat "tag-like" structure for "Location" we want something more like a pre-defined "category" structure.

I can see where to make the change under Toolset / Edit Taxonomy / Taxonomy Type / Hierarchical.

However, the CRED Forms to edit existing listing Locations still show as checkboxes (allowing multiple selections).
How can we make sure the Edit Forms AND the Listing Creation Forms show the "Location" taxonomy as a drop down, SINGLE selection only field?

Do we only need to edit CRED forms or also other parts of ToolSet?

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

Well - to make taxonomy field as select dropdown, you need to use following code:

[cred_field field='taxonomy-slug' display='select' single_select='true']

Where:
Replace 'taxonomy-slug' with your location taxonomy slug

More info:

-- display. Optional.
Used by fields for Hierarchical Taxonomies (like Categories) to signify the mode of display (ie. "select" or "checkbox").

-- single_select. Optional. Boolean.
If the display=select argument is set, then single_select=true will only allow a single option to be selected (by default multiple options can be selected). Defaults to fals
