[Resolved] Set up taxonomies with restricted select options

Is it possible to set up a custom taxonomy to behave in the way highlighted below. I am sure there is a word for this type of relationship/taxonomy but I can't remember it!

Say I have a CPT called People. I could use taxonomies to categorise different locations, for example a birth place and a current place for each Person. I would like to identify the country and the city.

I could set up a Custom Taxonomy. And have the countries as Parents and the cities as children. But this means someone could select a country of United Kingdom, but also a city like Paris.

Is there any way to stop this happening? So only Children under a selected Parent can be selected?

I hope the above makes sense. If you need any more information, please let me know.

Hello,

There isn't such kind of built-in feature within Toolset, you might consider custom codes, for example, here is a similar thread:

Thank you Luo Yang.

I think I will use CPTs and different Relationships for this as it seems a lot easier to achieve that way.

Thank you for your help anyway!
