Hi @saulo

You should be able to remove it by using Javascript like this:

add_action('acf/input/admin_footer', 'my_acf_disable_taxonomy_parent');

function my_acf_disable_taxonomy_parent() {
    
    ?>
    <script type="text/javascript">
    (function($) {
        
        $(document).ready(function(){
            $(".acf-field-1234567890abc ul.acf-checkbox-list > li > label > input").remove();
        });
        
    })(jQuery);    
    </script>
    <?php    
    
}

Where ‘field-1234567890abc’ is the field key.

I hope this helps. 🙂

Hi @saulo

I’m afraid you won’t be able to disable the choices in the selection because the choices are retrieved by using AJAX.

You should be able to modify the query, though. This page should give you more idea about it: https://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/acffieldstaxonomyquery/.

Hope this helps 🙂
