Tell us what you are trying to do? I'd like the select box to show all options, not just 10. I tried to add an attribute to the shortcode, but that didn't work. [cred-relationship-role role='parent' orderby='title' order='ASC' limit='40']

Is there any documentation that you are following?

Is there a similar example that we can see?

Hi,

Thank you for contacting us and I'd be happy to assist.

I tried to see the form on the link you shared, but it was showing the message "No items found".

By default, the post-relationship field added through the "cred-relationship-role" shortcode ( ref: https://toolset.com/documentation/programmer-reference/forms/cred-shortcodes/#cred-relationship-role ) shows the input field with a "select2" script that shows more autocomplete options, as you type.
( screenshot: hidden link )

I'm afraid, there is no built-in option available to disable this autocomplete feature, but, If you're not seeing more options for autocomplete, you're welcome to share temporary admin login details, so that I can see how this form is set up in the admin area.

Note: Your next reply will be private and it is recommended to make a complete backup copy, before sharing the access details.

regards,
Waqar

Thank you for waiting and I apologize for the delay in getting back on this.

During testing and research, I couldn't find any built-in function or option to change the behaviour of the post-relationship selection field.

To have a regular select field, which shows all parent "EHRs" posts, you can follow these steps, as a workaround:

1. You'll need to register a custom shortcode, which can get the list of all available parent "EHRs" posts and create a custom regular select field, which includes only those posts as options, which are not already connected:


add_shortcode('create_shadow_parent_field', 'create_shadow_parent_field_func');
function create_shadow_parent_field_func() {

	$parent_post_slug = 'ehr';
	$relationship_slug = 'ehr-relationship';

	$current_post = do_shortcode('[wpv-post-id]');

	// get parent posts which are already connected
	$get_results = toolset_get_related_posts($current_post, $relationship_slug, 'child', 9999, 0, array(), 'post_id', 'parent');

	// get all the parent posts
	$args = array(
		'post_type'        => $parent_post_slug,
		'posts_per_page'   => -1,
		'post_status'      => 'publish',
	);

	$posts_array = get_posts( $args );
	// create a custom select field from the available parent posts, which are not already connected
	ob_start();

	if(!empty($posts_array)) {
		echo '<select id="shadow_parent_selector" name="shadow_parent_selector"><option value="">-select-</option>';
		foreach ($posts_array as $result) {
			if(!in_array($result->ID, $get_results)) {
				echo '<option value="'.$result->ID.'">'.$result->post_title.'</option>';
			}
		};
		echo '</select>';

	}

	return ob_get_clean();

}

The above code snippet can be included through either Toolset's custom code feature ( ref: https://toolset.com/documentation/adding-custom-code/using-toolset-to-add-custom-code/ ) or through the active theme's "functions.php" file.

2. Next, in your relationship form, you can hide ( but not remove ) the actual parent post field added through the "cred-relationship-role" shortcode and include this custom select field, by adding this new shortcode [create_shadow_parent_field].

3. And in the form's JS editor, you'll include this script that will detect selection changes in this custom select field and update them in the hidden parent selection field:


jQuery( document ).ready(function() {
	jQuery('select#shadow_parent_selector').on('change', function() {
		var selectVal = this.value;
		var selectText = jQuery(this).find("option:selected").text();
		if( selectVal > 0) {
			jQuery('#cred_association_ehr-relationship_parent').find('option').remove();
			jQuery('#cred_association_ehr-relationship_parent').append(jQuery('<option>', { value: selectVal, text: selectText }));
		}
		else 
		{
			jQuery('#cred_association_ehr-relationship_parent').find('option').remove();
		}
	});
});

As a result, the user will see the regular select field which shows all options at once, but, the selection will be updated in the actual autocomplete field too.

I hope this helps and please let me know if you need any further assistance around this.

Thanks that works great to display all the EHR choices. One question: we are using the same form to update EHRs as well as create new ones. Here on the Select2 form, we have it displaying the EHR name from the list on the update form. I have the new form next to it. Is there a way to get the new form to do this?
If you login to Julie's HCCN using the login credentials, you will see "Add New EHR" and "Add Support Services to EHR" If you click Add Support Services, you will see what I mean, or the screenshots might tell you enough.

Thanks for the update and glad that it worked.

From your message and screenshots, I understand that you'd like to pre-select the value that is selected in the default select2 input field, into the new custom select field too.
( screenshot: hidden link )

If that is correct, you can update the custom script from the last message to:


jQuery( document ).ready(function() {
	var preSelectedVal = jQuery('#cred_association_ehr-relationship_parent').find(":selected").val();
	jQuery("select#ehr_parent_selector").val(preSelectedVal);
	
	jQuery('select#ehr_parent_selector').on('change', function() {
		var selectVal = this.value;
		var selectText = jQuery(this).find("option:selected").text();
		if( selectVal > 0) {
		jQuery('#cred_association_ehr-relationship_parent').find('option').remove();
			jQuery('#cred_association_ehr-relationship_parent').append(jQuery('<option>', { value: selectVal, text: selectText }));
		}
		else
		{
			jQuery('#cred_association_ehr-relationship_parent').find('option').remove();
		}
	});
});
