Use a Toolset Form to create/edit posts that have a Parent Post (one to many).
Expecting the (generated by forms default) parent post selectors to allow me to select parent posts.

Instead I am presented with a vanilla selector (expecting select2 actually), that is empty, even there are parent posts connected and available.
Source HTML of the Select is gibberish, see screenshot.

Debugging this found plugin "Email Address Encoder" by hidden link (https://wordpress.org/plugins/email-address-encoder/) to be causing the issue in form of a conflict.
Deactivating that plugin resolves this issue. Somehow they are messing with Toolset's Forms Select Parent Field.

Not sure you still do compatibility outreach. If so, it would be appreciated if you can look into it.

Hello,

Unfortunately, we can not fix such kind of compatibility issue, it is the plugin "Email Address Encoder" changing the select2 outputs, we can not fix their issue.

You might need to check "Email Address Encoder" plugin author: if it is possible to disable their feature in specific pages.
