[Resolved] Modify how the Selector for Parent Post displays
This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem:
A Toolset Form includes a parent post selector, and the dropdown which lists the parent posts is in the format post ID : post title, when all that is required is the post title.
Solution:
This arises in certain circumstances depending on the form in question, but the post ID will be removed in the next update so that only the post title appears.
This support ticket is created 6 years, 7 months ago. There's a good chance that you are reading advice that it now obsolete.
This is the technical support forum for Toolset - a suite of plugins for developing WordPress sites without writing PHP.
Everyone can read this forum, but only Toolset clients can post in it. Toolset support works 6 days per week, 19 hours per day.
Everything works great except I don't like how the drop down selector is presenting the choices. It's showing the post id, last name and first name. How do I tell it which fields I want it to show in the drop down selector?
Well, upon comparing the parent selector to the posts I see that it's displaying the Post ID followed by the Post Title. I could settle for just the Post Title, but would really like to remove the Post ID. So no way to modify how it displays Parents in the Parent Selector?
I only see the title, so I checked with the developer who said that depending on the particular circumstances you might see ID - title rather than just the title, but that this will be removed in a minor update containing a few bug fixes that should go out in a week or so.
I can confirm the same annoying issue with the ID coming up before the title in the selector.
Is there a way to change that "particular circumstances" or to choose if we want the ID or the Title to appear?
