How to create a single select Taxonomy Picker in CRED

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem

How can I create a DropDown or Select field, that allows the User to choose only one term, in a CRED Form?

Solution

We have specific ShortCodes in place for Taxonomies, you will see them when you autogenerate the CRED Form.

How you can make a Single Select Field for Taxonomies is shown in the DOC linked below.

It requires a little manual editing of the ShortCode.

This is the attribute you use:

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 false.

I am trying to: add a custom taxonomy select field to a user created post with post field.

Link to a page where the issue can be seen: hidden link

I expected to see: a drop down with the custom taxonomies for classes.

Instead, I got: nothing.

You cannot use a taxonomy in a post field in a CRED Form.

We have specific ShortCodes in place for Taxonomies, you will see them when you autogenerate the CRED Form.

How you can make a Single Select Field for Taxonomies is shown here:
https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/cred-shortcodes/#cred_field

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 false.

So you would create the Form with the AutoGenerate Button, then, you would find the taxonomy ShortCodes and change from native "display='checkbox'" to "display='select' select_single='true'".
