Reply To: Limit post-object field to only top-level taxonomy terms?

I modified the post_object.php field to accomplish this. It’s attached.

There is a method called acf_get_taxonomy_terms() that is getting all the terms for the options. I pulled that function from the api-helpers.php file and updated it slightly to include the ‘parent’ => 0 parameter in its get_terms() call. I put the new method in my updated file and called it instead of acf_get_taxonomy_terms() and it seems to work as expected. Adding it as a new field option is the easiest way. Look at Creating a New Field Type to see how to do that. For this though, you can just add the attached file to your system (I just included it at the bottom of my functions.php file) and it should become available.
