Hello,

Unfortunately no this is not possible. This is because it is still one taxonomy category. The only way this is possible is if the child terms are a separate taxonomy.

Thanks,
Shane

could you please explain, suppose i create two taxonomies 1.state 2.city.
how to create a search view filter so that city is dependent on taxonomy.
I want to achieve it using taxonomy because i will pass the taxonomy value in url to google analytics.

Hello,

Yes creating 2 separate taxonomies will work.

Now this will be on the views side to make the appropriate city appear.

Take a quick look at our documentation here
https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/front-page-filters/advanced-settings-custom-search/#dependent-parametric-search

This will allow you to setup your dependent filters.

Please let me know if this helps.
Thanks,
Shane
