My current solution is to monkey patch the acf.select2 object with the following code:
// Enable markup in ACF options
acf.select2.decode_data = function( data ) {
// bail ealry if no data
if( !data ) return [];
//loop
$.each(data, function(k, v){
// text
data[ k ].text = v.text; // HERE IS THE CHANGE
// children
if( typeof v.children !== 'undefined' ) {
data[ k ].children = acf.select2.decode_data(v.children);
}
});
// return
return data;
};
But I think that there should be some filter for the decode_data as my solution is not (and can’t be) future proof.
