Tell us what you are trying to do?
If don't want the user to have the option of choosing a parent category - should I just change the taxonomy type to flat instead of hierarchical and if so, how would this change the conditional shortcodes from the ticket link beneath?

Is there any documentation that you are following?

Hi Anders,

Thank you for getting in touch.

Given that it would still be a taxonomy then you shouldn't experience any issues if you change from hierarchy to tag type.

Thanks,
Shane
