"— not set —" from Parent dropdown still displaying

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

Problem:
On a CRED form for a child post, the Select dropdown for the parent post shows an empty "--not set--" option when we make the field required.

Solution:
As of today, this is a bug in Toolset CRED v1.9.0.1 and is reported to be fixed. In the meantime, please use this jQuery workaround. Add the below JS code in your CRED Edit Form >> JS editor section:

( function( $ ) {
    $( document ).ready( function(){
  
      $('select[name*="post_parent"] option:contains("--- not set ---")').remove();
    });
})( jQuery );

Hi,

I am building CRED form and if I place

required='true'

[cred_field field='_wpcf_belongs_autor_id' value='' class='form-control' output='bootstrap']

it adds -- Please Select -- but --- not set --- is still there, which doesn´t make sence. It should be fixed as it states in the last post here: https://toolset.com/forums/topic/how-to-remove-not-set-from-parent-dropdown-when-field-is-required/

So it it fixed or not? If it is fixed, what I am doing wrong?

Thanks

Hi David,

Thank you for contacting Toolset Support.

Looks like the fix didn't work well and issue still exists, I am again escalating this issue to our 2nd tier support.

In the meantime, can you try a jQuery workaround.

( function( $ ) {
    $( document ).ready( function(){
 
      $('select[name*="post_parent"] option:contains("--- not set ---")').remove();
    });
})( jQuery );

Thank you

Thank you, it works! But if it will be fixed in plugin itself, it would be much better 🙂

Hi, I have updated Toolset CRED to the latest 1.9.1 version. It solved a problem, but made another one.

-- Please Select -- is not displaying now (it can be translated, but it´s not visible)
--- not set --- is still there which is ok, but cannot be translated.

I thought that developers will remove --- not set --- from drop down list. So can you help me, how to translate --- not set ---? Because it´s not in wp-cred.po file.
