What is the best way to do the same thing in parent-child selectors in the search filter?
So: I have two drop-downs - "brand" and "model" -> I choose a brand and in the drop-down "model" I only have models that are the children of the brand previously selected.
I know that in CRED forms it does not work the same as in search filter category views.

==> Do you want to create this relationship between fields in the CRED form or Search Filter form?
In the CRED shortcode you have provided above, you may try to add parent field slug in the no_parent_text='No Parent' attribute.
I want to create this relationship between fields in the CRED form.
"In the CRED shortcode you have provided above, you may try to add parent field slug in the no_parent_text='No Parent' attribute." - I have tried, unfortunately, nothing changes. Only displays another text.
Unfortunately none of these examples will help me.
In each of these cases, you need to insert specific values. In my case they are dynamic - models are to be shown depending on which brand I choose.
//Create parent/child relationship between listing and province/city
add_action('cred_submit_complete', 'prefix_my_cred_submit_complete_action', 10, 2);
function prefix_my_cred_submit_complete_action( $post_id, $form_data ){
if ($form_data['id']==1337){ //do the following code only if the CRED form ID is 1337, adjust this to your CRED form ID
if (!empty($_POST['wpcf-listing_province'])){ //if listing-province has a value
$province_id = get_post_meta( $post_id, 'wpcf-listing_province', true );
add_post_meta($post_id, '_wpcf_belongs_province_id', $province_id, true); //save the ID of the province as parent of the current post
}
}
}
My code:
//Create parent/child relationship between listing and province/city
add_action('cred_submit_complete', 'prefix_my_cred_submit_complete_action', 10, 2);
function prefix_my_cred_submit_complete_action( $post_id, $form_data ){
if ($form_data['id']==39){ //do the following code only if the CRED form ID is 1337, adjust this to your CRED form ID
if (!empty($_POST['wpcf-osobowemarka'])){ //if listing-province has a value
$osobowemarka_id = get_post_meta( $post_id, 'wpcf-osobowemarka', true );
add_post_meta($post_id, '_wpcf_belongs_osobowemarka_id', $osobowemarka_id, true); //save the ID of the province as parent of the current post
}
}
}
The problem may be that I do not have a "listing" ?...
I do not know very well PHP.
add_action('cred_submit_complete', 'prefix_my_cred_submit_complete_action', 10, 2);
function prefix_my_cred_submit_complete_action( $post_id, $form_data ){
if ($form_data['id']==39){ //do the following code only if the CRED form ID is 39, adjust this to your CRED form ID
if (!empty($_POST['cpt-son'])){ //if listing-son(Parent CPT Custom Dropdown) has a value
$son_id = $_POST['cpt-son'];
add_post_meta($post_id, '_wpcf_belongs_son_id', $son_id, true); //save the ID of the son as parent of the current post
}
if (!empty($_POST['cpt-grandson'])){ ////if listing-grandson(Parent CPT Custom Dropdown) has a value
$grandson_id = $_POST['cpt-grandson'];
add_post_meta($post_id, '_wpcf_belongs_grandson_id', $grandson_id, true); //save the ID of the grandson as parent of the current post
}
}
}
Please note there will be more or less modifications needed in this code and JS. Because example is given for 2 post types and you have 3 post types which adds complexity to the requirement. It will be a lot more custom work and we can’t help for such. Sorry, it will require more custom development to make it work perfectly and we cannot consult on the custom code as per the support policy. https://toolset.com/toolset-support-policy/
2. Write your own Custom Javascript code to update (show/hide) the select dropdown fields based on the selected values.
I do not want to offend you, but this way I might as well insert a list of "parents" and solve the problem with Java Script ???? If I knew Java Script...
I am afraid that the proposed solution is not possible for me.
This is a custom solution and unfortunately I cannot consult more on this custom requirement, because we can't consult much on the custom features and coding. The method and approach I have provided in previous response was to provide a general idea for a possible solution.
Ok, So I would like to use JavaScript solution to filter other selects on change the others ... but to do so, I will need those select options to have some useful data arguments ... for now, I have option output like that:
With useful data in there I have it's ID, and it's name ... nothing more. I would need it's "Post relationship" settings to display in there, like data-belongsto-whateverposttype="that_post_type_post_ID" ... how can I do it?
Also from previous response, I supposed to understand loop syntax from this?

>> You need to create shortcode in functions.php and add the shortcode in your Cred form.
Thanks Noman, is there no other way than create my own shortcode? Can I filter output od your cred_field shortcode? Or perhaps you have some hooks in there?
If not, can you give me some hint where can I find it's code, so I could just copy it and modify as own shortcode instead of writing everything from scratch. Also how can I grab post relations, do you have some functions for that, or should I grab it manually from post meta?
